Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I use other types of peppers instead of peppercini?

A: Yes, you can! Jalapeños or serrano peppers would add a similar level of heat. Just be sure to remove the seeds for a milder flavor.

Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?

A: Absolutely! The flavors actually develop more as it chills. Just be aware that the texture may change slightly, so you might need to give it a quick blend before serving.

Q: Is it possible to make this soup vegan?

A: Yes! Simply substitute the yogurt with a plant-based alternative, like coconut yogurt or cashew cream.

Q: Can I adjust the thickness of the soup?

A: Yes! If you prefer a thinner soup, add a little more buttermilk or water. For a thicker soup, add more yogurt.

Q: What kind of cucumbers are best for this recipe?

A: English cucumbers (also known as seedless cucumbers) are ideal because they have a thinner skin and fewer seeds. However, you can use any type of cucumber, just be sure to peel and seed it first.
