Serves 2

This zingy, no-cooking soup is a Guest Recipe from the BBC Good Food and is packed with your five a day!

Ingredients

1 cucumber, halved lengthways, deseeded and roughly chopped

1 yellow pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 small avocado, chopped

One bunch of spring onions, chopped

Small bunch mint, chopped

150ml pot fat-free natural yogurt

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Few shakes green Tabasco

Snipped chives to serve

AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DO....

1. In a food blender or processor, blitz all the ingredients, reserving half the mint and yogurt, until smooth.
   
   
2. Add a little extra vinegar, Tabasco and seasoning to taste.
   
   
3. Add a splash of water, if you like to make the soup thinner.
   
   
4. Chill until very cold, then serve with a dollop more yogurt, mint, chives and a few ice cubes, if you like.
   
   
5. The soup will keep in the fridge for two days - just give it a good stir before serving.
