My review
Simple Cucumber Soup
7
virgi
"The most simple yet one of the best soups I had so far. A simplified version of my mum's cucumber soup. No need for salt, pepper, or seasonings, just a good vegetable broth. I like to have it with a good slice of toasted bread and some good cheese."

I used chicken and beef stock rather than vegetable stock. I tripled the recipe myself. It's delicious! I think it needs some sliced jalapenos tossed in after it is cooked. :)

Made it verbatim and was a bit bland for my preference. I took 'Soup Loving Nicole's' suggestions for mods and it was incredibly delicious. The soup is addicting. Thanks for sharing the recipe.....
