How to make homemade cucumber soup? Start with good shopping
In theory, preparing cucumber soup should not pose any problems, but in practice it is worth remembering a few rules that will make it outstanding. First of all, choose the right cucumbers. They should be somewhat firm and without visible damage. Peel them from the lighter end to the darker end. Otherwise, you risk them becoming bitter and ruining the overall flavor. Of course, you don’t actually have to get rid of the cuticles, but only if you are sure that they have been thoroughly washed beforehand. The next step is to cut them into slices.

The second important issue is choosing the right sour cream with a good composition. The rest of the accessories are a matter of preference. However, if you are looking for new flavors and want the cucumber salad to taste like never before, it is worth adding another vegetable to it. So prepare:
- fresh,
- approx. 3 tablespoons of cream,
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice,
- white part of the leek,
- clove of garlic,
- some sugar, salt and black pepper.
Peel the cucumbers, cut into slices and season as desired. Wash the leek and then cut it into slices. Squeeze some lemon juice on it, add crushed and minced garlic clove and cream. Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. The addition of leek will make the salad more flavorful and delicious than ever before.
