Lime-Cucumber Soup with a Kick
It's cold, it's hot; it's sweet, it's sour; it's laced with tequila & served cold! Surprisingly clear and refreshing...but not for the faint of heart!!
zest of 2 limes, finely grated
juice of 2 juicy limes
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
2 big cucumbers, peeled and chopped
2 cups seedless green grapes
4 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup green or yellow pepper, chopped
1/4 cup tequila
Garnish: finely minced cucumbers & the green of green onions
Puree everything together but the tequila and the garnish, then press through a sieve.
Chill in the refrigeator until ready to serve.
Then, stir in the tequila, ladle into bowls, and sprinkle each with the cucumber and green onions.
