Cucumber Potato Soup

[Guest guest]

Serving this soup chilled adds a touch of elegance, that is unless your kids

begin shouting " Ew! Gross! This soup is cold! " . *lol* Truely, I loved it, even

if

they didn't. Give it a try. It tastes quite good warm as well if you aren't the

chilled soup type. ;-)
