Why you should prepare cucumber soup cold
Did you know that many vitamins are sensitive to heat? A very good example is vitamin C. As soon as we heat the dish or drink, it disappears almost completely. That is why you should not add lemon to hot tea, but only to lukewarm tea.
And vitamin C is present in large quantities in cucumbers. To be precise, there are 8000 μg per 100 grams. For this reason alone, it is worthwhile to spoon the cucumber soup cold.
But of course there are even more reasons. An iced cucumber soup is mega refreshing and a boon for our bodies on hot days.
So when the head smokes again at work, the soup comes just in time. Everyone has a refrigerator at work. Put the soup cold and then you can start eating immediately. No reheating in the microwave or with pot. Super practical or?
How you can refine the cold cucumber soup
Afraid you won't get full? Then you can fry some shrimps, eat a piece of bread with it or fry chickpeas and sprinkle them into the soup.
If it's still not flavorful enough for you, try adding garlic, garlic powder, lime or chili powder.
If you prepare the cucumber soup cold and add mint, you will get a very special taste experience.
Our conclusion
Yes, it takes some getting used to eating a cold cucumber soup. After all, we know soups but usually only steaming hot.
But there is a lot to be said for iced cucumber soup. It contains hardly any calories, is pleasantly refreshing and provides you with vitamins and minerals.
