Ingredients
- 4 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 stalks spring onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup cucumber
Directions
Step 1
Finely mince the garlic and chop the spring onions, fresh dill, and cucumber. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux. The mixture should become golden and smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the vegetable stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
Step 5
Turn the heat to low and slowly whisk in the buttermilk. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to boil the mixture as it may curdle.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped spring onions, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 7
Remove the soup from the heat. Allow it to cool slightly if serving chilled or leave warm if preferred.
Step 8
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the diced cucumber and extra sprigs of dill. Enjoy!
