MARTHA WASHINGTON'S CUCUMBER SOUP
Category: 18TH CENTURY . Serves: 6 . Long before Martha Washington served as First Lady, kitchen and farm gardens had gone beyond corn, beans and squash. A great variety of vegetables were grown including artichokes, cucumbers, cauliflower, peppers, asparagus, beets, peas, lettuce, and salad greens. This enabled Mrs. Washington to serve her guests sophisticated soups such as this one.

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.
