Chilled Cucumber Soup

In a large pot, brown garlic in a little stock. Clean and chop leeks into quarter slices and add to garlic, cooking with a little stock until soft. While softening, chop cucumber into rounds and add to leeks and garlic. Pour in stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, turn down heat to med. to low, and simmer until the vegetables are soft (approx. 10 min.). When vegetables are soft, puree until smooth in a blender or food processor. Pour mixture into large bowl and allow to cool. Once cooled, add buttermilk and combine. Stir in mint and chives into soup. Refrigerate min. 2 hrs to overnight. When ready to serve, garnish with salad shrimp, fresh chives and a sprig of mint.
