Cucumber Soup (Warm)
"I never would have believed it, until someone made me eat some: cucumber soup can be served warm and is really yummy! It's easy, quick, inexpensive, low fat, and really tasty - just perfect comfort food for the colder months! This is a traditional Belgian recipe. Even my kids loved this and said it tasted like broccoli and cheese soup - but better (I agree!). It has a very mild taste and the cucumber is not overwhelming. Some black pepper really brings out the best in this recipe."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay-at-home mommy to two boys under two. (You're thinking 'shame', aren't you?!). Prior to milk stains and nappies I was an analyst at a very busy company - with no time (or interest) to develop my culinary and house holding skills. So, suddenly faced with household chores and little (and big) mouths to feed daily, I needed help desperately - and was very fortunate to come across RecipeZaar! Now the children might well be competing with the computer for attention but at least they're well-fed ;)
