Notes
- My husband adds ice cubes to his cold soup as he likes it extra cold.
- I usually peel the cucumber because that is how mu husband likes it. The cucumber peel, however, has good source of dietary fiber.
- I use the yogurt jar to pour the exact same amount of water as I did with the yogurt. Also, there is some residuals on the jar from the yogurt that the water captures along prior me pouring into the bowl.
