This vibrant iced cucumber soup with mint and watercress is the ultimate refreshing dish for a warm summer afternoon. The combination of cooling cucumber and peppery watercress creates a bright, clean base, while the addition of savoury feta cheese and creamy Greek yogurt provides a lovely depth of flavour. It is a sophisticated take on a classic chilled soup, offering a beautiful balance of fresh herbs and textured garnishes.
As a light vegetarian starter or a healthy lunch, this recipe is incredibly simple to prepare as it requires no cooking. The soup can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavours of the fresh oregano and garlic to develop fully. Serve it icy cold with a topping of chopped egg and chives for a nutritious, protein-rich finish.
