Cucumbers are my favorite veggie, expecially during hot summer. This soup is very good, when cool, almost icy. I love to pour in cup, or six to eight oz glass, and just sip, served along with favorite cheese, favorite crackers, and a favorite fruit, such as chilled sweet grapes, watermelon, and perhaps cantaloupe Try it, you'll like it.
