Summary
Summary: XXXX
Cucumbers, which are mostly water and fiber, will help keep you hydrated and aid in digestion, but sometimes they might not seem like the most versatile item in your refrigerator. A great addition to a salad, perfection on a veggie plate…but what else?
We’ve got the answer—soup! Chilled cucumber soup, that is. This refreshing soup is big on flavor with herbs like dill and parsley, but it also is creamy and tangy thanks to the addition of sour cream. Give it a try this weekend!
