Summertime Yummy, Cold Cucumber Soup


1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2- 3 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
1 cup chicken stock
½ cup Daisy light sour cream
2- 8 ounces Fage plain yogurt
½ tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup buttermilk*  
5 sprigs fresh dill, or to taste
¼ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon hot sauce
Salt & pepper to taste

In a skillet sauté the onion in the butter and olive oil until onion is almost clear.  Add cucumbers to the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Scrape cucumber / onion mixture into a blender, add all other ingredients and blend until soup is smooth.  Pour into a container, I pour mine into a glass pitcher that has a lid and then chill the soup for 24 hours before serving. 


*One time I made this and I was out of buttermilk so I used part half & half and part 1 % milk and 2 tablespoons buttermilk powder.
