BULGARIAN CUCUMBER SOUP WITH WALNUTS
Walnuts are used in sweet and savory dishes throughout the Mediterranean. Along the Italian Riviera, a rich ricotta and walnut sauce traditionally is served with ravioli filled with greens. In Turkey, a thick, garlicky walnut sauce called tarator is served with cooked vegetables, much as aïoli is in the South of France. In France, walnuts are added to salads, breads and many desserts, and they are eaten fresh as well as dried - a great delicacy in the fall, just after the harvest. I've never encountered creamy, fresh walnuts in American farmers' markets, but if you know a walnut farmer, perhaps you could request some the next time they're harvested. Before the weather becomes too chilly for cold soups, try this one. Bulgaria once was well known for the number of centenarians in its population, which some scientists attributed to the daily consumption of Bulgarian yogurt. Now, both the yogurt and eating culture in this mountainous country have changed for the worse, and so have local lifespans.

Steps:
- Place the garlic in a mortar with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and mash to a paste.
- Place the yogurt in a large bowl. Stir in the oil, garlic and walnuts. Whisk in the water and the lemon juice. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Chill for one hour or longer.
- Meanwhile, season the cucumbers lightly with salt, and allow to drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Add to the yogurt mixture and stir together.
- If you wish, place an ice cube in each bowl, and ladle in the soup. Top with chopped walnuts, a drizzle of olive oil if desired, and a sprinkling of dill or mint.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven 15 to 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub walnuts between your hands to remove the skins. Chop walnuts coarsely and set aside.
- Mix together all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice if desired. Then place anywhere from half to three-quarters of the mixture, depending on how thick or thin you want the soup to be, in the bowl of a food processor and process until very smooth. Return to the original bowl, add walnuts and mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

WALNUT SOUP
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, bring 1 quart water to a boil over high heat. Add the walnuts and boil, uncovered, 1 minute. Drain well. Spread the walnuts on a cookie sheet lined with aluminium foil. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Cool on a rack. Place the cooled walnuts in a food processor or blender with 1/2 cup cold water and process until almost a smooth paste, scraping down sides of the work bowl. Add 1/2 cup cold water and process until almost smooth. In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk the rice flour and 1 cup water until smooth. Whisk in the walnut puree and 2 1/2 cups cold water. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Cut the brown candy into smaller pieces. Add the brown candy, reduce to low and simmer 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. The soup should be the consistency of a light cream soup. If mixture is too thick, whisk in up to 1/2 cup more water. Serve piping hot.
CUCUMBER COCONUT SOUP
This chilled cucumber-coconut soup gets its inspiration from Indian cuisine, which often marries the two components. Jalapeno and fresh cilantro add character to poached chicken.

Steps:
- Bring chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Add chicken; return to a simmer, and reduce heat. Cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, reserving stock, and let cool.
- Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeno, and cucumbers; cook 1 minute more. Add reserved chicken stock, and bring to a simmer; cook until cucumbers are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
- Working in batches, transfer cucumber mixture to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Add coconut milk and cilantro to last batch, pureeing until cilantro is very finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap; place in refrigerator until soup is completely cool. Stir in lime juice, and season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, shred chicken into bite-size pieces. Ladle soup into bowls; top each with chicken, and garnish with cilantro.
YOGURT AND CUCUMBER SOUP
All the fresh herbs make this cold soup marvelously refreshing. Key ingredient is raisins. Absolutely perfect if you have an herb garden; otherwise, for those of us who don't, a little expensive to prepare (unless you have use for all those extra fresh herbs) but great on the tastebuds and wonderfully aromatic nevertheless. Substitute dried for fresh if fresh herbs unavailable. I prepared this for a 3-day July 4th weekend. Cut out of an article in the NY Times, adapted from Najmieh Batmanglij, a Thai chef living in the U.S., but she described this as a Persian soup. Cooking time is chilling time.

HOT CUCUMBER SOUP
My friend Liza, who works for my parent company, just emailed me this recipe. Liza likes to surf Zaar for recipes, but hasn't joined as a member yet. She's letting me post her recipe (which sounds really yummy). Hopefully, she'll post some of her own soon!

Steps:

- Melt the butter/marg in large saucepan and saute the onion until transparent.
- Stir in the flour.
- Add the stock and bring to a boil.
- Add the sliced cucumber and cook until tender.
- Puree in electric blender.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in lemon juice.
- Just before serving, mix in the cream.
- What Liza does: I use alot more cucumbers, maybe+- 800/900g and add a touch more water to the stock amount.
- I use more onions, approx.
- 2 med-large.
- Don't use more lemon juice as it changes the taste of the soup.
- Once the soup is cooked (ie. the cucumbers are tender), puree the soup: and options: can either leave the soup as it is; or put in one tub of sour cream; or don't put sour cream in the pot and only serve with sour cream as garnish.
- It's yummy.
