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.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 2 large English cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
Directions
Step 1
Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until butter melts. Add onion and garlic; saut? until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cucumbers and zucchini; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Pur?e soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
