  • “Good, but needs much more seasoning than the recipe calls for.We found we didn’t like the texture of the chunks of cucumber, so next time I make this I’ll puree everything before serving.With some adaptation, this could easily become a favorite :)”

  • “Never heard of this soup until I had it at a fancy restaurant and wow what flavour.Looked it up on ZAAR and couldn’t believe I found the recipe.I’ve made it twice now in one week and we just love it.I didn’t pour potatoes into a sieve, instead just mashed them right in the saucepan and continued on.Family loved it.Can’t wait to make it again and again.Thanks for sharing the recipe.”

  • “This is really good. I didn’t bother seeding the cucumber and it was fine. Also, I didn’t find it necessary to force the potatoes through the sieve–just mashed them up with the water when they were soft with a potato masher, right in the saucepan.”
