Categories     Potato

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium cucumber
4 medium potatoes, Peel And Dice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cold water
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 green onion, Grated
1 teaspoon dried dill weed or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, Chopped

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: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, are ideal for this soup as they hold their shape well and won't disintegrate.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook the potatoes just until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
  • Add the cucumbers at the end: Cucumbers are delicate and will lose their flavor if they are cooked for too long. Add them to the soup at the very end, just before serving.
  • Season to taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the soup is flavorful and well-balanced.

Conclusion:

Potato cucumber soup is a refreshing and flavorful soup, perfect for a hot summer day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different herbs and spices, or add your favorite vegetables. No matter how you make it, potato cucumber soup is a delicious and healthy way to cool down on a hot day.
