Cold Cucumber Soup
 
4 Large cucumbers

1 Tbsp. salad oil
2 1/2  Cups chicken broth
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2  Cup milk

2 Tbsp. dried dill
1/2  Tbsp. salt or to taste
1/4  Tbsp. white pepper

 Peel, seed and slice the cucumbers. In a heavy 10 to
 12-inch skillet, saute the cucumbers and spring onions in the
 heated butter and oil for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
 Stir in the flour and cook slowly for 3 to 4 minutes,
 stirring frequently. In a 2 quart saucepan, heat the chicken
 broth and milk and stir this slowly into the cucumber mixture.
 Add the strained lemon juice, dill weed, salt and pepper.
 Simmer gently, stirring for about 10 minutes, until thickened.
 Put into blender until smooth. Put the soup into a large
 mixing bowl. Cool completely. Add sour cream, taste for

 in chilled soup bowls, garnished with chopped
 chives.
