Cucumber and tomato soup with yogurt

Cucumber and tomato soup with yogurt is a refreshing and healthy dish that is perfect for a hot summer day. This soup is packed with nutrients and flavor, making it a great addition to any meal. To make this delicious soup, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped
- 4 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup of fresh parsley leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the chopped cucumbers and tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add enough water to cover the vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the yogurt, mint, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the soup chilled, garnished with additional mint leaves and a dollop of yogurt, if desired. This soup is light and refreshing, with a tangy flavor from the yogurt and a hint of sweetness from the tomatoes. It's perfect for a light lunch or as a starter for a summer dinner party.
