Chilled cucumber soup on a hot evening

 In the summer, I like nothing better than biking to the farmer's market, coming home with a big bag of produce, and enjoying dinner fresh from the market out on my porch. (Unless, of course, it's biking to the farmer's market, coming home with a big bag of produce, enjoying dinner fresh from the market out on my porch, AND getting a footrub from my husband after he does the dishes.) Chilled cucumber soup fits the bill--it's quick, refreshing, and free from the top 8 food allergens (although people with tree nut allergies may choose to be extra cautious and avoid coconut).

Ingredients:

3 cucumbers
1 cup coconut milk
3 leaves mint
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
4 ounces tofu, (optional)

Directions:

Peel the cucumbers and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop the seeds from middle with a spoon and discard them. Chop the cucumbers and put them in the food processor. Add all of the other ingredients to the food processor bowl and puree until the mixture is smooth. (Tofu is optional, but makes the soup a little thicker.)

Don t listen to those who say，"It’s not done that way.” Maybe it’s not， but maybe you will. Don’t listen to those who say，"You’re taking too big a chance.”

A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.

You seem to be a great specialist in this sphere. At least what you write surely deserves attention. I'd like you to have a look at my creation rapidshare SE for ( http://rapidqueen.com ) and say what you really think about it. Thanks!

Marya-there's a new article at foodallergies.about.com about this very topic. Check it out:

What I could find said that coconut sensitivities are pretty rare, but that some people with tree nut allergies prefer to be on the safe side and avoid them. Beyond that, I'm not really sure. That must be super frustrating. :( Have you had her tested?

Hey Amy! Glad to see the blog is up! Have you run across any mentions of people being allergic to coconut milk? I made some soup with it and Elizabeth's allergies just went crazy so now I'm afraid to try it again, but I suppose it could have been something else in there too. Just curious. Good luck with the contest!
