My favourite soup on a hot summers day-I just love this. The prep time doesn't include chilling which I think takes about 6 hours.
Chilled Cucumber & Yoghurt Soup with Prawns

- 2 1/2 cucumbers
- 300 ml Greek natural yoghurt
- 300 ml quality chicken stock (we use a canned Asian style)
- 40 ml sour cream
- 3 drops Tabasco sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 12 large raw prawns, shells and heads removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Chill until very cold.
Peel and deseed the remaining 1/2 cucmber and cut into small thin matchsticks.

Before serving, saute prawns in the oil until they turn pink.
