Creamy Cucumber Soup

I tried this since we had extra cucumber last night and it was delish. I'm a picky eater and the only diner I go to is the teriyaki restaurant near me . I never would've thought I'd like unconventional food like this at all.

I wasn't sure what to expect, as this type of recipe is not something I would normally make. It was absolutely delicious and will definitely make again. I did omit the yogurt, as I saw another reviewer state she liked it better before she added it. If you are on the fence you should try it!

I just finished making this. It is absolutely fabulous. I made some edits. I cooked the parsley with onions and garlic, after they had turned soft. I also added some heavy cream, and doubled the yogurt. My version is super thick and creamy. I also added some cumin, and a couple dashes of crushed red pepper. After I took out of blender I put back on heat for a couple minutes, really combines the cucumber, and avocado flavors.

Made by recipe and added bits of chicken

I made this according to the recipe. I used fresh lemon and it turned out great! I think it's really tasty and will definitely make it again! Thank you for this recipe! We have more cucumbers than we know what to do with!

Travlbug, how did the canning work with this recipe???? Were they just overfilled??? I don't even like Cucumbers... BUT, I LOVE THIS SOUP!!!!!

I have made this three times now with minor changes the second and third time. They were all very good and easy to make or adjust. We found that we prefer it without the yogurt. Froze some of the second batch for winter as the reviews said it freezes well. We had an over abundance of cukes this year and still have plenty of pickles left from last year. Being fairly new to canning and hoping to not take up all the freezer space, I canned 5 quarts of soup out of the third batch. Here's my question. Has anyone tried to can this soup? Everything looked great and all the jars sealed. After the third day I was hearing a strange noise only to discover that all the jars were oozing green sludge! Does anyone know what I did wrong or is canning just not an option for this recipe?

I REALLY liked this. Very easy to make, I used low sodium chicken broth and didn't make any changes. I can see garnishing this with all sorts of things.

My least favorite cucumber soup. I followed the recipe precisely and found the result overly tart and thin in flavor. Edible, but far from desirable.

Quick and easy! I thought I had posted a review of this before, but I guess I didn't. I made this several times last summer because I loved it so much. It was quick and easy to make in the evening to pack for lunch for a few days. I always eat it cold, but it's good warm too. I always top it with a little crumbled queso fresco too, but it's just as good without it. While cheese adds some fat, it also adds protein and makes the soup more filling too.

This is a really tasty soup. It NEEDS something though, and i can't put my finger on it. I used Greek yougurt which made it very rich and creamy. It's refreshing - probably even more satisfying if eaten cold on a hot summer day. I'm not sure what else to give it though. Maybe more salt, more cayenne. Maybe I'll try dill. I'd do it again whenever I figure out what is missing. Pros: Light, Refreshing in Summer Cons: Missing something. . .

Delish I was looking for a way to use up our abundance of garden cucumbers and was not disappointed. The use of avacado really worked and not only did I use parsely but threw in a handful of basil and mint. I have enjoyed it both warm and cold. If you like cucumber/yogurtery type things you'll love this! Pros: Great way to use up garden cucumbers; avacado replacing cream is brilliant Cons: A little time consuming

Not a hit I had an idea this would be a hit or miss recipe but gave it a shot due to all the great reviews. I have to say i'm not in love with it. It just doesn't taste all that great and mine looked like smooth guacamole. Pros: easy to make Cons: not very yummy

horrible i don't know why, but it turned out green and it tasted like barf. I'm sure i followed the directions right. I strongly advise that you hit the back button, and try another recipe. Pros: nothing Cons: tasted horrible

My husband and I loved this soup. Needed just a bit more salt, otherwise the recipe is perfect as it is.

This soup is delicious cold or hot. It is creamy and very satisfaying.
