Cold Cucumber Soup

2 small garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 ice cubes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Sprigs of mint for garnish

1. Place all of the ingredients, except 1/2 cup of the prepared cucumbers, into a blender. You can use a food processor, but the blender makes a much
   silkier, smoother soup.
2. Blend the mixture well and season with additional salt (if needed) and pepper to taste.
3. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining cucumbers and
   a few sprigs of mint.

Makes 4 servings.
