SIMPLE CUCUMBER SOUP
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.

DELIGHTFUL CUCUMBER SOUP
Couldn't find a cucumber soup with exactly the flavors I wanted so I made up this one! It's a creamy and uniquely flavored cool cucumber soup. It is okay to have a choppy texture rather than perfectly smooth. Whichever consistency is your preference. Serve cold.
