Cucumber soup
The glass holds 250 milliliters. Select a saucepan that can hold at least three liters in order to prepare the cucumber soup using the quantity of ingredients I’ve listed.
The vegetables were weighed before they could be peeled or otherwise prepared. I always make note of the weight of the fruits or veggies I’ve used. You are not need to adhere to the exact grammatical requirements, though. The purpose of the scales is to facilitate your estimation of the approximate quantity required to prepare a certain dish.
The components I used were the basis for calculating the calories. This is only an estimate of the calories because the amount of calories in your ingredients can differ from mine.
From the given amount of ingredients, you will get a delicious cucumber soup with a capacity of about two liters.
Cucumber soup recipe
Rinse all of the broth’s ingredients under cold running water, ideally in a sink. Washing the meat is always the last step. Put the wing and neck of the turkey into a medium pot. Add the chopped and peeled carrots, leek, parsley, and piece of celery as well. Leek can be substituted with roasted onions, which should be sliced in half and roasted on a dry pan. To the pot, you should also add a bay leaf, three allspice grains, a teaspoon of peppercorns, and a teaspoon of salt. Cover the entire item with five glasses of water (1250 ml). Put a lid on the pot. After bringing everything to a boil, turn down the burner’s power so that the soup cooks slowly. Cook the broth for 1.5 hours – without looking into the pot.
Advice: Ribs are a great option to substitute some of the meat; to ensure they cook more quickly, I suggest splitting them ahead of time.
After that, turn off the heat and remove the broth. Scoop out every component from the soup using a slotted spoon. There should only be broth remaining.
Cube the carrot using a knife. Take out the meat from the wing and the neck as well. The remaining ingredients won’t be needed.
I always cut the potatoes and cucumbers while the soup is simmering. I normally don’t peel my little pickled cucumbers before shredding them. I start by thinly peeling the very huge ones. Using a vegetable grater with a large mesh, shred the cucumbers.
After peeling, chop the potatoes into little cubes. Put in a basin with water in it. Then, after cutting, they won’t get darker.
Return the saucepan containing the soup to the flame. Add the chopped potatoes to the broth (do not add water). Place a lid on the soup and let it cook for a maximum of 10 minutes. The soup should then be cooked for a further ten minutes on low heat, after adding the grated cucumbers.A tip: Before adding grated pickles to the soup, you may optionally sauté them in a skillet with a tablespoon of butter. That’s when cucumber soup tastes even better.
To achieve the ideal vegetable flavor, add the potatoes first, followed by the cucumbers.
Add the peeled flesh from the wings and neck, along with the carrots. Lastly, mix the soup and add the sweet cream. The cucumber soup is ready after cooking on the lowest burner power for two minutes!
This turkey broth cucumber soup pairs really nicely with potatoes. However, you can instead add precooked pasta or rice in place of the potatoes. After that, combine them with the broth’s meat and carrots. But my favorite variation is the one with potatoes. You may garnish the plates with parsley or dill as well.
I love soups made traditionally in Poland. Therefore, I suggest that you try my pea soup (recipe below for traditional pea soup with bacon) if these flavors are also to your liking.
