Directions
Cold Cream of Cucumber Soup, This is a recipe by Beth Elon, who has a column every other week in our local paper In our house it’s just not Friday night dinner unless there’s soup, but with the weather being so hot lately, I haven’t been able to even bear the thought of sitting down to a hot steaming bowl of chicken soup, let alone cooking it on Friday I tried this out the other night and it was so refreshing, I think we’ll have this more often than just Friday nights during the summer! Prep time includes chilling (who wants lukewarm cuke soup?) , Well this is hard First of all it did not look like Cucumber soup It tasted pretty good but it just didn’t look right My wife said 3 stars but I felt 4 It needed the sour cream and salt and pepper Still I felt it should have been called something different than Cream of Cucumber Soup Still like I said I enjoyed it but I am not sure I would make it again , Very Refreshing Soup I had no leeks or shallots in house, so used more onion and a tad more garlic Nice new way to utilize cucumbers This recipe goes into my recipe box Yum Thank You for sharing
