Chilled Cucumber Buttermilk Soup


An excellent accompaniment to my Buffalo Cauliflower. Creamy and cool. 

Ingredients
1-1/2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped coarsely
1 shallot, chopped coarsely
1/4 c. olive oil
1/2 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. sour cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chives, to garnish

Directions
Combine cucumbers, celery, shallot, 1 tsp. kosher salt, and olive oil in a blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a medium-mesh sieve, pressing solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Whisk in buttermilk, sour cream and freshly ground black pepper. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and chopped chives. Serves 2.
