Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large blender, combine the freshly sliced Persian cucumbers, creamy plain whole milk Greek yogurt, aromatic basil leaves, extra-virgin olive oil, zesty lemon juice, fresh dill, garlic clove, sea salt, honey, and freshly ground black pepper. Blend on high for 2–3 minutes until silky smooth and vibrant green.
  2. Pour the smooth mixture into an airtight container or bowl. Cover it tightly and refrigerate to chill for at least 4 hours; overnight is better for infusing flavors.
  3. Retrieve the soup from the fridge, ladle it into bowls, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and garnish with reserved cucumber slices, fresh dill, and mint or chives.
