Christine Datian makes this easy, creamy soup in the morning so that it is chilled by lunchtime. Garnish the soup with a sprinkle of cayenne or chopped fresh dill.

 4 cucumbers (about 2 1/4 lb. total), peeled, seeded, and chopped
 2 cups plain yogurt
 3/4 cup sour cream
 1/2 cup chopped green onions (white and pale green parts only)
 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 1 tablespoon lemon juice
 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  Salt and pepper
 6 ounces shelled cooked crab
Step 1
