Warm Cucumber & Mint Soup!

I saw this on the website ShowMeTheCurry.com. Their soup was Cool Cucumber Mint Soup.  I was hungry. The AC had been on. So I didn't want it chilled, and so had it warm! And it was spicy! Very spicey! (I had used 4 jalapeños  and had added some birds eye green chilli paste too! Sometimes, my "twist" does get carried away!)

I had it with Papads (also known as pappadum)

1 medium onion - diced (can be large dices)
1 tomato - chopped
3 jalapeños - sliced
3 cloves of garlic - diced
½ ginger paste
2 cucumbers - deseeded and chopped (about ½ wide)
Handful of mint,
3 cups of vegetable broth
½ cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to season
A little olive oil for sauteing

1. Heat the oil, and saute the onion, jalapeños, and garlic.
2. When nearly done, add in the tomatoes and ginger.
3. Allow to cool,. add some of the vegetable broth, and blend in a blender/food processor
4. Add in the mint leaves and sour cream, and blend.
5. Season with salt and pepper
6. Voila!

And that's it. Very easy! Very yummy! Even if it is a little spicy! :)

I did have mine warm. However, I'm sure that in very hot weather this soup would taste great cold.  It's also very nutritious, low in carbs, and great for diabetics too!
