- 1 cup (250 mL) milk

- 4 hard-cooked eggs, sliced

Preparation
In saucepan, bring 6 cups (1.5 L) water to boil; boil spinach, salt and pepper over medium-high heat, until greens are tender, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together milk and egg yolks; whisk in 1 cup (250 mL) hot soup. Stir milk mixture into soup; cook just below simmer, stirring constantly, until soup is thickened to milky consistency, 4 minutes. Pour into bowl; let cool. Refrigerate until cold.
Halve cucumber lengthwise; slice thinly and set aside.
Whisk 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the sour cream and lemon juice into soup. Ladle into 4 bowls; top with cucumber, eggs and 1 tbsp (15 mL) sour cream; sprinkle with chives.
