Cool Cucumber- Kale Blender Soup with Apricots and Walnuts
My go-to cold soup in summer! Cool and Refreshing. A dose of Probiotics and Fiber in every spoonful.
Ingredients
Instructions
Blanch the kale leaves: Remove stems from kale, lightly chop and place in a small bowl.
Pour boiling water over to cover. Let sit 2 minutes and drain.
Place the first 9 ingredients in the carafe of a blender (blanched kale through kefir.)
Blend on low speed, then proceed to high until the soup is blended, but still has a little texture, about 30 seconds.
Add the yogurt and walnuts, blend on low to medium speed until the walnuts are finely chopped, about 10 seconds.
Place the soup in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Serve when cold.
To serve: Pour the soup into individual bowls. Pit and slice the apricots thinly.
Garnish each with apricots, grated cucumbers an some extra mint and dill sprigs.
* Try Asian Cucumbers, thin skinned – less seeds
