Classic Cucumber Soup

[@phyllischandler4837]

Greetings from the hills of Tennessee. I have a suggestion. Next time you plant mint, first plant in side a clay pot. Cover with soil as usual. Than take pot and plant in the garden, making sure to cover the clay pot completely. If any of the pot is sticking above ground, it will act as a wick and dry your plants out. By using the clay pot, it acts as a barrier and keeps the mint from bolting and spreading for years. I love your channel.

Perfect for our 97-degree weather today. And to make for my book club's salad supper in mid-August.

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

OMG! This and Gazpacho are my faves. You remain ADORBS! Hugs to pets!

[@deniseharrell1591]

This would be stellar as a starter at a barbeque! Skewers of shrimp, St. Louis style ribs with a peach or strawberry sauce, cold coleslaw with poppyseeds, lemon pie... mmmm

[@jelsner5077]

This looks so refreshing! I can't wait to try this. Stay cool, Kevin!

[@d.g.2896]

90 in the shade here in Louisville and the mint is taking over the herb garden. Perfect

[@sherilynpeters6459]

Looks great, especially for a hot day.

[@hollydewbean3248]

The cucumber soup is fabulous!

[@Conchpearl]

Just a suggestion from a fan in Charleston, SC: add a heaping tablespoon of fresh, chilled crab meat to the center of the soup, then add the garnish.😋😋. Thanks so much for the recipe!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Crab addition sounds wonderful!

[@heathercannady]

That sounds so good!

[@Elletaria-t5s]

[@jeaninemartin]

I’m watching your cucumber soup creation and it looks divine. I don’t think I can wait until Summer…thank you 🥒

[@shirleywelch577]

looks delicious ~ will definitely prepare ~ thank you for sharing

[@laurac.b.devlin8605]

My mom.had mint in a hillside rock garden where it cdnt harm anything else. Always enjoy your videos, Kevin. Thank you.

[@gloriarangott8803]

Jacques Pepin is a very long time go to chef for me. I'm so glad you like him too. Did you know that he was once a ski instructor at the Hunter, New York Ski Resort??? Hunter is a place t h at holds many fond memories

[@irislorikeet4287]

I live in Florida. We always have cucumber soup in the refrigerator. We use a funnel to pour and fill an empty 1 liter plastic coke cola bottle. We couldn't live without it. Weather here is in the 90's 10 months out of the year.

[@Bebe-vk7kw]

This soup is wonderful. I made it yesterday so easy and delicious. The mint and Greek yogurt are a great pairing with the cucumbers. I used silver slicer cucumbers from my garden seeded and peeled them. I will definitely be making this again this summer and keeping the recipe to make every summer when mint , jalapeño and cucumbers are ready to be harvested. Thanks for this great recipe!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this soup!

[@deebrake]

Wow, I love cucumbers and will definitely give this a try. Thank you so much. Also, I have made your cabbage casserole twice now, it is so good. I hope viewers will check out that recipe as well. Have a great day.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

So glad you enjoy the Cabbage Casserole!

[@arolahn]

Just tried this recipe tonight, and I think I’m in love with cold cucumber soup now! I’d tried it once before but it wasn’t nearly as sophisticated a flavour, with none of the herbs etc in this one. Thought I’d never like chilled soups in general after similar experiences with inferior gazpacho etc. Now I want to try more like this! Thanks for sharing this simple yet delightful soup recipe!

[@D31taD4wn]

Hello Kevin, you have excellent recipes. I am so happy i found your channel. Thank you for sharing and God Bless You and Mr. Fox.

[@adriennepalmer1850]

Hi Kevin love cucumbers and I Will make this soup looks elegant, of course

[@artfulcookingwithdawn9000]

I have everything to make this right now- guess what I'm making today?! Thanks for this great video Kevin!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hope you enjoy the soup!

[@robinwatkins8528]

That soup looks wonderful! I cannot wait to try it. 😄

[@lavanyavijay4025]

Very nice simple and tasty recipe... Loved the presentations too...

[@monajoshi5420]

Kevin, thank you so much for this recipe. Made the soup and it’s yum! ☺️

[@ivorybow]

We've got a foot of snow, and it's well below freezing. However, I must make that soup now!

[@johnbelin4201]

I’m salivating!

[@mariaelenajara163]

I'm watching you from Santiago Chile, and it's spring now so I'm definitely going to try this (except for the jalapeño). I love cucumbers! Oh, and thanks for all the wonderful videos, you are so charming.

[@ประจวบอําพันศรี-ฒ5ธ]

So nice ❤

[@dlmj47]

This looks yummy, your kitchen counter looks like mine. I have the same color kitchen aide blender , vita mix. My crock for utensils is red. LoL. TY for the great recipes.

[@wesballard7602]

WOW!!! Thank You!

[@lgparker4726]

This is a lovely soup. The first time l made it, I only made enough for six and all my guests wanted seconds. 😊

[@mammabear9041]

I seen someone do an infused olive oil once I bet that would go amazing with your already amazing soup

[@Lizzy514]

Super healthy. :)

[@lisaray9404]

Wow!! I am totally loving that gorgeous shirt you are wearing! It matches your baby-blue eyes perfectly! Very nice! Thank you for the recipe of this delicious looking soup. When it heats up here again, I will definitely be making a bowl to enjoy! Take care and cheers! 😊💙🙏💚🥒

[@suzanneurbanart]

Great recipe! Never understood if that kind of cucumber was a zucchini or what, now I know!

[@gloriarangott8803]

Hi Kevin, It's "Prime Days" on Amazon, 7/11+7/12, and I just ordered the same model blender that you have...it is costing about 409.00 including tax. The regular price is 629. Plus change, so I think I did well. It comes with some sort of booklet...which I HOPE will be an owners manual of "how to", which I dearly need, or I'll never figure out how to work this beautiful machine. From watching you, I see a little of how things work..BUT I need a manual. It will arrive on July 14...Bastille Day♡♡♡♡ and I'm so looking forward to it...first thing...cucumber soup with dill be c ause I like dill much more than mint...and be c ause of you..I WILL remember the olive oil♡

[@adriaschumann9641]

I'm a soup lady - hot soups - but I sure do love this recipe and can't wait to make it. Would you serve a sandwich with this for a luncheon or what?

[@gloriarangott8803]

Cold lobster or crab salad would go just great

[@adriaschumann9641]

@@gloriarangott8803 yes it would! Only one problem: I'm allergic to shell fish! But when I could eat it, I loved it. This came on suddenly, as allergies can. Have a great weekend. It's hot here so this cucumber soup is on my menu for the weekend!

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Can't eat cold soups! I've tried! Looks refreshing though! And I'm sure that others with a more sophisticated palate will love it! BTW, I'm watching this 4 months after you posted and it's Christmas time so I just want to say Merry Christmas to my favorite homemaker.

[@gloriarangott8803]

Call it a smoothie and make it a thinner consistency 😋

[@rosamenendez9089]

Loved this recipe, to make it vegan I just switched out the cream and greek yogurt for silken tofu.

[@Shmule]

Kevin what is the model of your vitamin blender. I like the way the container bottom is square & it seems very stable. Thanks

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

My Vitamix model # VMO158A. It's a great appliance!

[@Shmule]

Thanks for your reply and kindness. Keep the videos flowing

[@patriciasingletary-no7xm]

Plant the mint in pots in the ground. Keeps them from taking over.

[@shirleyhansford6024]

What do you serve with the cucumber soup to make a complete luncheon?

[@olgacergol1977]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@suzyh1399]

If you can't use dairy products tofu works very well. I make a salad dressing of it.

[@suzanneharris8339]

Oh my. Oh my. That's all I can say.

[@deborahwhaley7104]

Now all you need is tea sandwiches.

[@redrooster1908]

❤❤

[@geraldinefields1730]

Is it considered good manners to drink the soup in the bowl with the handles directly from the bowl using the handles? Donated my Letitia Baldrige book of etiquette.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi Geraldine - Here's what Emily Post says: Cream soups and bouillon do not require a spoon when served in a 2-handled "Bouillon Cup." Just lift by both handles and...sip away!

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

RIP English cucumber skeleton.

[@iscarrillo]

Looks like zucchini rather than cucumber

[@alidawolvaardt7864]

Tried many recipies - all simply NOT WORTH THE IT!

[@larrybarnette8574]

To much talking 12 min it only takes 5 to make this

[@Samsatish28]

B grateful that someone is taking time to share their talent my dear..God bless
