Cucumber soup is enjoyed by both older and younger people, so it's no wonder it often lands on our tables. Additionally, its preparation is straightforward. However, using high-quality ingredients is essential, which significantly impacts its taste.

Why is it worth eating cucumber soup?

Cucumber chicken and tomato soup are true "queens" among soups. However, not everyone knows that consuming it can bring many health benefits.

Cucumber soup is rich in B vitamins, which significantly impact the proper functioning of our metabolism and nervous system. It also contains a lot of fibre, which aids the body's digestive processes.

Recipe for cucumber soup like grandma's

We only need broth, pickled cucumbers, and potatoes to prepare cucumber soup. Adding honey also doesn't hurt, which mitigates its sour taste. The sequence of adding the individual ingredients is also critically important.

We should start preparing cucumber soup with the broth. Both meat and vegetable broths work well. During this time, peel the potatoes and chop them into small cubes, which should be added to the boiling liquid.

Next, we need to deal with the cucumbers. Grate them, and when the potatoes are sufficiently soft, you can add them to the soup. Fans of robust flavours can also pour a cup of cucumber pickle juice into the pot.

Let's not forget to thicken everything with sour cream. At the very end, just add a tablespoon of honey, stir, and it's ready.
