Notes

Net carbs: 7g per serving (8g total carbs minus 1g fiber).
Substitutions: Swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free coconut or cashew yogurt to make it vegan. Regular cucumbers work if peeled and seeded first.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Stir before serving, as the soup naturally separates.
Reheating: This soup is served chilled. If you prefer it warm, gently heat over low without boiling to protect the yogurt.
