My friend Liza, who works for my parent company, just emailed me this recipe. Liza likes to surf Zaar for recipes, but hasn't joined as a member yet. She's letting me post her recipe (which sounds really yummy). Hopefully, she'll post some of her own soon!

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

500 g cucumbers
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
4 tablespoons flour
4 cups stock
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup cream

Steps:

  • As per the recipe: Peel and slice the cucumbers.
  • Melt the butter/marg in large saucepan and saute the onion until transparent.
  • Stir in the flour.
  • Add the stock and bring to a boil.
  • Add the sliced cucumber and cook until tender.
  • Puree in electric blender.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in lemon juice.
  • Just before serving, mix in the cream.
  • What Liza does: I use alot more cucumbers, maybe+- 800/900g and add a touch more water to the stock amount.
  • I use more onions, approx.
  • 2 med-large.
  • Don't use more lemon juice as it changes the taste of the soup.
  • Once the soup is cooked (ie. the cucumbers are tender), puree the soup: and options: can either leave the soup as it is; or put in one tub of sour cream; or don't put sour cream in the pot and only serve with sour cream as garnish.
  • It's yummy.
