This his recipe incorporates my recipe for slow and low crunchy roasted almonds and Raw yogurt. I use a crock pot as it is convenient, but you can also use a large pot and place in a warm spot, like oven with light on overnight. By “soaking the oats” you are letting the oats break down anything that may be difficult for the body to digest. This allows for your body to be absorb nutrients from the oatmeal without stressing you system by the oatmeal so that your body may be more easily nourished. The raw yogurt in this recipe adds further nutritional benefits. Feel free to play with other ingredients with this simple basic recipe. Enjoy!

Our cucumbers are growing out of control! This is an excellent way to use cucumbers, tomatoes and other veggies in you garden for a fresh easy dinner. Make extra and save to bring a neighbor in need! I chose to use our small yellow pear tomatoes to add a golden color and mild taste that doesn’t over power the cucumber. You can also use other tomatoes, but I love the color and lightness that these tomatoes add to the soup. Serve cold with a spring of mint for a refreshing summer meal loaded with nutrients. My kids love this soup and it makes me happy to know they are getting a good serving of vegetables hidden in this creamy broth. I use our raw yogurt for a creamy texture, a great taste and for the health benefits. You can add a few other seasonal veggies you may have in your kitchen or garden; celery, onion, garlic, bell pepper etc, but keep the main focus on the cucumber!
