CUCUMBER SOUP
The guests are hungry, and dinner's not yet on the table. You could set out a tray of cheese and crackers. But if surprise and delight drive your menu choices (keeping an eye, all the while, on simplicity and efficiency), there are other options, like this velvety cucumber soup.

SIMPLE CUCUMBER SOUP
The most simple yet one of the best soups I had so far. A simplified version of my mum's cucumber soup. No need for salt, pepper, or seasonings, just a good vegetable broth. I like to have it with a good slice of toasted bread and some good cheese.
