Cucumber soup

Cold cucumber soup is a great option for a light meal. Simply blend 2 cucumbers with 1 cup low-fat yogurt, then add 15 fresh mint leaves, some salt and pepper. Mix until there are no chunks left and chill for at least 2 hours. You can then add fresh herbs such as chives, tarragon, parsley or cilantro.
