CSA Farm Share 2013: Week 6

[surrealestate]

I've been minority obsessed with cold summer soups to the tune of several gallons and counting. I'll be honest and say I didn't think I'd even like the cucumber one (because come one, a soup made of cucumbers?) but I'm glad I made it anyway cuz it was awesome. Plus I've been able to bestow them upon friends who've recently (re)spawned and they've appreciated food that can be eaten straight out of the fridge (and one-handed in a mug if need be). Also canned more dilly beans.

Just got back from a weekend in Brooklyn which made me miss being right by great beaches and Jess (who also enjoyed the soup).

Cucumber soup, she asked hopefully?

Are you asking for soup or the recipe? The former will require you to come over. :)

The latter is pretty much http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/emerils-cold-cucumber-soup-recipe.htm

Small mods, but as always, those are to taste. This was also the first time I'd ever blanched almonds.

The recipe to start with. And I shall have to figure out the visiting. :)

Thank you!
