Chilled cucumber soup recipe wanted...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

On Saturday I had the most refreshing bowl of chilled cucumber soup! It was the perfect thing for a steamy summer night.
The base seemed to be largely sour cream; and the waitress mentioned there was a bit of vermouth in it; but I've no idea what else.

Does anyone have a good recipe they'd be willing to share?
