Simple Cucumber Soup

Simple Cucumber Soup

This cucumber soup recipe is a simplified version of my mum’s cucumber soup. It’s so simple, yet it’s one of the best soups I had so far. There’s no need for salt, pepper, or seasonings, just a good-quality vegetable broth. I like to have it with a slice of toasted bread and some cheese.
