Summer, summer, summer time… a song that keeps popping into my head. The heat has burned and we are all sweating collectively. We don’t care about anything but bathing.
But you also have to eat. I believe that, like me, you can’t prepare anything that has to do with the stove and heat, but only a simpler, refreshing and quick ready meal.
Soups without cooking are an ideal solution to these problems. In addition to being nutritious, they will refresh you and will not be difficult or easy to digest. This cucumber soup is low in carbohydrates, and another amazing thing about this recipe is that it is vegan or lactose free and you only need a few foods.
It is cucumber season and should be used in all ways, not just in salads. My recommendation is to drink cucumber juice or cut it into slices and put it in the water you will drink during the day (so-called aromatized water) or instant soup whose recipe I bring you ❤️
Few Cool Facts About Cucumber Soups
Interestingly, cucumber juice in Asia, where cucumber originates, has been drunk during the summer heat since ancient times. And in ancient Egypt they were aware of the healing properties of this fruit. It contains a lot of minerals and vitamins, fiber, carotene, etc.
Since cucumber is largely made of water, it cleanses the body of toxins and has a great effect on digestion, which is also why this low carb cucumber soup is so healthy. We also know that cucumber is used for cosmetic purposes, ie it is applied directly to the area around the eyes to soothe swollen eyes.
Advice! If you buy a cucumber from proven sources, eat it with the peel. But if you buy those of dubious origin, it would be good to remove the rind because it is coated with wax to make the cucumber last as long as possible.
If the cucumber is hard for you, try slicing it an hour before eating and add a little salt. It will release water that you will strain and then it will be lighter for the stomach. You can “take off” the bitterness of the cucumber so that after peeling the cucumber with a fork, you go along the entire length of the cucumber.✨
