Steps:
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add potato; cook, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add cucumbers, and season with pepper; cook until almost tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add stock, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until ingredients are tender, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Working in batches, puree mixture in a blender until smooth. (For safety, remove cap from hole in lid, and cover with a dish towel to prevent spattering.) Transfer mixture to a large bowl; stir in buttermilk, dill, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Divide soup among 4 glasses, and garnish each with a cucumber spear.

Steps:
- Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise.
- Scoop out seeds with a spoon and discard.
- Dice cucumber.
- In a heavy 2 1/2-quart saucepan boil potatoes in salted water until the potatoes are very soft.
- Pour potatoes and cooking liquid into a sieve or food mill set over a large bowl.
- Force potatoes through.
- Return to the saucepan.
- Stir in pepper, cream, milk, grated onion and the cucumber.
- Simmer gently about 5 minutes or until the cucumber is tender.
- Add dill and season to taste.
- Serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For a creamy soup, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. For a soup with more texture, use waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they are just tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Use fresh, high-quality cucumbers: Fresh cucumbers will have a crisp texture and a bright green color. Avoid cucumbers that are yellowed or wilted.
- Peel the cucumbers if desired: Peeling the cucumbers will give the soup a smoother texture. However, you can leave the skin on for a more rustic look.
- Season to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and dill you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve chilled or warm: This soup can be served chilled or warm. If you are serving it chilled, let it cool completely before refrigerating. Serve it with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
Conclusion:
Potato and cucumber soup is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be made with a variety of different ingredients. With its creamy texture, fresh cucumber flavor, and zesty dill, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
