Mary Berry Tzatziki Soup

Mary Berry Tzatziki Soup

Mary Berry’s tzatziki soup takes the traditional flavors of tzatziki and transforms them into a smooth, cold soup. Blended cucumber, Greek yogurt, garlic, and herbs come together to create a velvety texture with a burst of freshness. It is a quick, no-cook recipe that’s both nourishing and delicious.

Ingredients

  • Cucumber (2 medium, peeled and chopped) – The base ingredient for a refreshing taste.
  • Greek yogurt (400g, full-fat preferred) – Adds creaminess and tang.
  • Garlic (1 clove, minced) – Provides a subtle kick.
  • Lemon juice (1 tbsp) – Enhances the fresh flavors.
  • Olive oil (2 tbsp) – Gives a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Dill (1 tbsp, fresh, chopped) – Classic tzatziki herb for freshness.
  • Mint leaves (1 tbsp, fresh, chopped) – Adds an aromatic touch.
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste) – Enhances the flavors.
  • Cold water or vegetable stock (250ml, optional) – Adjust the consistency.
  • Optional toppings: Chopped fresh herbs, crumbled feta, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumber: Peel and chop the cucumber into small chunks. If preferred, remove the seeds for a smoother texture.

  2. Blend the ingredients: In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, mint, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  3. Adjust consistency: If the soup is too thick, add cold water or vegetable stock a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. Chill the soup: Transfer the blended soup to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

  5. Serve: Ladle the chilled soup into bowls, garnish with extra chopped herbs, crumbled feta (if using), and a drizzle of olive oil.
