DIRECTIONS
Process bread in a food processor or blender until finely crumbled. Reserve 1 tablespoon parsley, minced, for a garnish and set aside. Add remaining parsley with garlic to bread and process until parsley is very finely ground. Add onions, half the cucumber, vinegar and pepper and process until a paste begins to form. With the machine running, slowly add the clam juice or chicken broth and oil until pureed.
Pour mixture into a medium-size bowl and stir in the remaining cucumbers, yogurt, half the surimi seafood and hot pepper sauce. Serve room temperature or chill; if chilling soup, taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
Ladle soup into individual bowls, top with remaining surimi seafood and minced parsley. Pass croutons to sprinkle on top of soup.
