5:2 diet Raw Cucumber Mint Soup
« on: October 01, 2012, 09:48:59 am »
Name of Recipe: Raw Cucumber Mint Soup,

my adaption from the Naked Foods cookbook, by Margaret Floyd and James Barry.

Number of People:Serves 2

]Ingredients:
2 cucumbers, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 small avocado
Juice of 1 lemon
Handful of mint
100g red onion
Sea salt to taste
Red chilli or pinch of chilli powder to taste

Preparation: place all ingredients in the TM Bowl and blitz on speed 9 for 25 secs or until smooth.

I didn't peel my cucumber and it wasn't a pretty colour! Served with a teas of yogurt, tomato and red onion salsa. I am over counting calories, but did work out it was about 70 cals each, based on the weight of the veggies used.  If you are really strict with the calories, great idea to recheck. It wasnt a big bowl of soup, but it was tasty and I will make it again.
