Categories     Potato

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium cucumber
4 medium potatoes, Peel And Dice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cold water
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 green onion, Grated
1 teaspoon dried dill weed or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, Chopped

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise.
  • Scoop out seeds with a spoon and discard.
  • Dice cucumber.
  • In a heavy 2 1/2-quart saucepan boil potatoes in salted water until the potatoes are very soft.
  • Pour potatoes and cooking liquid into a sieve or food mill set over a large bowl.

  • Return to the saucepan.
  • Stir in pepper, cream, milk, grated onion and the cucumber.
  • Simmer gently about 5 minutes or until the cucumber is tender.
  • Add dill and season to taste.
  • Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Russet potatoes are a popular choice for soups, as they break down easily and create a creamy texture. Yukon Gold and red potatoes are also good options, as they hold their shape well and have a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Prep Your Vegetables Properly: Dice the potatoes and cucumber into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Peel and mince the garlic and onion for maximum flavor.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, and chives add a burst of flavor to the soup. Ground cumin and black pepper also complement the flavors well.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables can lose their texture and nutrients. Cook the potatoes and cucumber until they are tender but still slightly firm.
  • Garnish Wisely: A sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream, or a drizzle of olive oil can enhance the soup's appearance and flavor.

Conclusion:

Cucumber potato soup is a delightful and refreshing soup that combines the cooling, refreshing flavor of cucumbers with the hearty warmth of potatoes.
