Cucumber soup - it's a thing!
I had some cucumbers in the crisper and wanted to try something other than a tzatziki dip (which I do adore!).
Let me tell you, I'm a big fan of this healthy, budget-friendly cucumber soup.
Fast and easy to throw together.
This is going to be a familiar sight at the dinner table.
It makes for a light meal, and is perfect accompanied by a nice, chewy chunk of baguette.
I adapted this recipe from one I found on All Recipes. This soup is good served either hot or cold. I prepared it on a chilly, rainy day and opted for the hot version!
ENJOY!
