I've just made this soup and put it through a blender at the end. Also added a couple of cloves of pressed garlic, a little salt and ground black pepper. Delicious.

Delicious! Have just made a batch of this soup with a little extra black pepper as recommended by previous posters.
Only discovered this site a few days back, but I have a feeling I'll be cooking a lot of the recipes here!

This method works so well – I've enhanced my home-made variety with the addition of half a dozen fresh borage leaves (which also taste of cucumber – and high in health-giving vitamins) – and a LITTLE soured cream to lighten the beautiful green finish

Lovely soup, I make soups all the time, I grow my own vegetables, and do not waste anything, leftovers go into blender with stock cube etc. but instead of cream, I use phily cheese, different flavours for diff. soups, and as I am a vege, it gives me a litle protein as well. My cucumber plant looks like a trivid at the moment.

We had this soup for tea tonight and it was lovely. A really fresh summery taste. I added a bit of fresh mint and black pepper. I thought a might add a few fresh peas next time.

I just made this soup tonight after my mum bringing me plenty of cucumber from the garden. I added salt and pepper and plenty of garlic plus two chicken stock cubes and a vegetable one along with some peas. Blended it up then added some (not alot) clotted cream which gave it this amazing creamy taste to it.
Brilliant recipe and so so simple too.

I made similar recipe with celeriac and potatoe and onion and a clove of garlic .. all chopped up. Then added salt, pepper, chicken stock, nutmeg, ginger, worcester sauce and mild chili.. kept tasting to make sure it was good the extra pinch of salt got it right!!!

Amazed. I'm always slinging them into the compost cos they go soggy before we get to use them all (we have the small cucumbers). From now on hot cuc soup in winter & cold refreshing cuc soup in summer.Thanks

This soup is so good, made extra large pan full, had it hot first day, next day had it cold from the fridge with a little yogurt drissled over top. Will be making another batch to freeze for the winter as this year we planted an old variety called Fagusha (not sure if spelling correct). Lots of large, very crisp cucs that last a good while in the fridge, and don't wilt.

Could someone tell—does the cucumber require peeling?
