Pour the soup into a blender and purée until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and let it cool.

Once cooled, add the yoghurt and half of the sour cream and whisk until thoroughly combined. Cover and place in the fridge to chill.
Step 6:
Garnish and serve
Once it is thoroughly chilled, serve out into bowls and garnish with a dollop of the remaining sour cream, cucumber slices and fresh dill.
