Refreshingly Cold Cucumber Soup

Veronica's Healthy Living
Cucumbers are a tasty and juicy vegetable that are in abundance this time of year. This is a perfect lunch and a great way to get extra water into your day.
Most recipes have you prepare your cucumber by peeling, and seeding it. But I always skip this step when I make it. If you have a high-speed blender, it will blend skins (make sure your cucumbers are organic), seeds and all into a creamy, thick luscious soup. The addition of the beans adds creaminess as well as protein, to make this a refreshing summer lunch.
