Cucumber soup 1

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!
