TIPS & NOTES
- Dice the cumbers into small squares so that they are easier to eat.
- I prefer to use diced cucumbers rather than grated cucumbers because they give the soup a better texture and add a nice crunch.
- Mince the garlic as finely as possible so that it mixes well with the other ingredients.
- I prefer to use a full-fat yogurt as it is much more nutritious and healthy, but you can use a reduced-fat one if you prefer.
