I have wanted to make a cold soup for some time now. Summer is coming to an end, so before the temperatures get really low I decided to try a chilled cucumber soup.
It is different from eating a hot soup. Instead easting mine with a spoon I ended up drinking the soup like a smoothie. It is easy to make and a good candidate for make ahead meal. It tastes better the longer it sits.
