Kitchen Genie

Sometimes things come together without even trying. Here's what happened last night when I rubbed my magic refrigerator and out popped dinner:
I had this in the fridge: a dying cucumber
I had this in my grocery bag: yogurt, carrots, hot pepper

I made this: sweet carrot/cucumber soup (that I am fairly sure is ayurvedically balanced)
How: grated carrots, cucumber. Chopped up pepper. Added whey from drained yogurt. Blend in electric blender.
The result is very sweet, but with a kick from the pepper. I usually have to add cheese to my soups because I like it that way, but this soup is cheesy enough from the whey that only pepper and a bit of salt suffices. I am going to add garlic next time too.
