This is such a lovely recipe for a hot summer day and, once kids get over the fact that it’s, well, green, they’ll love it too!<\/p>\n
Serves 4<\/p>\n
Ingredients:
\n2 large cucumbers, peeled and de-seeded
\n1 small onion, chopped
\n16 fl oz milk, heated
\n8 fl oz vegetable stock, heated
\n\u00bd tsp nutmeg
\n1 tbsp plain flour
\nSalt and pepper to taste
\n1 tbsp butter<\/p>\n
Instructions:
\nChop the cucumbers into chunks. Then heat the milk gently in a small saucepan. <\/p>\n
In the meantime, in a large skillet, melt the butter and fry the onion and cucumber for a few minutes. Then add the flour and cook for a further minute, stirring constantly. Take off the heat. <\/p>\n
Slowly pour on the heated milk and stock, stirring constantly. Add nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. <\/p>\n
Bring the soup to a quick boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. Take off heat and leave the soup to stand for a while until cooled off. Blend in blender or food processor and adjust seasoning. <\/p>\n
Refrigerate the soup in the fridge for at least 20 minutes and serve with a sprinkling of fresh mint and a swirl of cream. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
