HOT CUCUMBER SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable     Summer

Yield 1.5 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups vegetable broth
2 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium white onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 celery ribs, cleaned and coarsely chopped
1 fresh or dried bay leaf
2 fresh thyme sprigs
2 medium cucumbers, coarsely chopped
½ cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup vegetable oil
1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley, leaves removed
½ cup whole milk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large stockpot set over medium heat, combine the vegetable broth, potatoes, onion, celery, bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs and add the cucumbers. Simmer for 5 minutes more. Turn off the heat and use a hand blender to purée the soup until smooth. Stir in the cream and season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow the soup to cool completely, at least 45 minutes, or transfer to a covered container and refrigerate overnight. 2. In a medium saucepot set over high heat, heat the oil to 350°. Carefully add the parsley and fry for a few seconds; the parsley should still be bright green. Remove the parsley from the hot oil with a fine-mesh strainer and drain on paper towels. 3. Return the soup to the stockpot and heat over medium heat until almost boiling. Stir in the milk and remove from the heat. Use a hand blender to briefly whip the soup. Pour the soup into bowls, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

I'm not a fan of this soup. I think the flavors are too bland.

This soup is not bad, but it's not great either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This soup has potential, but it needs some work. I think I'll try roasting the cucumbers before adding them to the soup.

This soup is a great idea, but it needs some tweaking. I think I'll try adding some different spices and maybe some fresh herbs.

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll use less yogurt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I'll reduce the amount of liquid next time.

I'm not sure about this soup. I love cucumbers, but I'm not sure if I like them in soup form.

This is the perfect soup for a summer party. It's light and refreshing, and it's easy to make ahead of time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover cucumbers. I always have a few cucumbers in my fridge, so this soup is a lifesaver.

This soup was surprisingly delicious! I love the combination of cucumber and dill, and the yogurt adds a nice tang. I will definitely be making this again.
