Cooling Cucumber Dill Detox Soup
Sick of sweating over a hot stove? Say hello to your new best friend for those sweltering days when even the thought of cooking makes you want to melt into a puddle. This vibrant, no-cook wonder is like a spa day in a bowl, ready to refresh and revive you in minutes.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 3 large, crisp English cucumbers, roughly chopped
– 1 cup of tangy, full-fat Greek yogurt
– 1/2 cup of raw, unsalted cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours
– 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 1/4 cup of fragrant fresh dill, plus extra for garnish
– 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
– 1 small clove of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
– 1/4 cup of ice-cold water, as needed
Instructions
1. In a high-speed blender, combine the roughly chopped English cucumbers, full-fat Greek yogurt, soaked raw cashews, freshly squeezed lemon juice, fragrant fresh dill, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic clove, fine sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
2. Blend the mixture on high speed for 45-60 seconds, or until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides with a spatula halfway through to ensure even blending. Tip: Soaking the cashews softens them for a luxuriously smooth texture without any grit.
3. Check the consistency of the soup; if it seems too thick, add ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend for 10 seconds after each addition until it reaches your desired pourable consistency. Tip: The cold water helps keep the soup chilled without diluting the flavor.
4. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with an extra pinch of fine sea salt or a squeeze of lemon juice if needed, blending for 5 seconds to incorporate.
5. Pour the soup into a large bowl or individual serving bowls and refrigerate, uncovered, for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to chill thoroughly. Tip: Chilling uncovered prevents condensation from watering down the top layer.
6. Just before serving, garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of the extra fragrant fresh dill.
Fresh from the fridge, this soup boasts a velvety, drinkable texture that’s incredibly light yet satisfying. The dominant cucumber flavor is brightened by the zesty lemon and aromatic dill, creating a clean, herbaceous finish that’s far from boring. For a fun twist, serve it in chilled glasses as a sippable appetizer or top it with a drizzle of chili oil for a subtle kick that plays beautifully against the cool base.

6. Pour in the robust vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with your spoon.
7. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Tip: A gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, is key for melding flavors without turning the veggies to mush.

2. Add 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced, and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Stir in 3 cloves of garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute until aromatic but not browned.
4. Add 8 ounces of cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced, and cook until they release their juices and soften, about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil over high heat.
6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7. In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of white miso paste with a ladleful of hot broth until smooth to prevent clumping, then stir it back into the pot.
8. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, stirring to combine.
9. Stir in 2 cups of baby spinach leaves and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute, to retain their vibrant color.
10. Remove the pot from the heat and ladle the soup into bowls.
11. Garnish each serving with 2 green onions, thinly sliced, and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
Kindly note that this soup delivers a velvety broth with earthy mushroom chunks and a subtle umami kick from the miso. For a creative twist, top it with a soft-boiled egg or serve alongside crusty bread to soak up every last savory drop—it’s the perfect balance of comfort and cleanse.
