CUCUMBER SOUP
The guests are hungry, and dinner's not yet on the table. You could set out a tray of cheese and crackers. But if surprise and delight drive your menu choices (keeping an eye, all the while, on simplicity and efficiency), there are other options, like this velvety cucumber soup.

f70@yahoo.comThis recipe definitely requires fresh, ripe cucumbers to get the best flavor. My first batch wasn't as good because my grocery store only had waxy supermarket cucumbers.
