blucoat's Note:

I found this in a vegetarian cookbook. I haven't tried it yet. I'm not sure about the cucumber but you can substiute it for any veggie you like (broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, beets). Use any herbs you enjoy. :-)

Excellent soup. Next time I will leave out the cuke. I cut the recipe back to 1/3 of the recipe, added 1 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp pepper. Used 1 liter of low sodium chicken Broth instead of the granuales. I had fresh Oregano, Thyme & Rosemary apprx 1/2 tsp of each. Very tasty satisfying soup. A definite do again
