Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 0.5 Whole onion, minced
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) garlic, minced
• 2 Whole cucumbers, peeled
• 1 Cup vegetable broth
• 0.5 Cup milk
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) soy sauce
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) curry powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried parsley
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) sesame oil

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and soft, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
2. Add the peeled cucumbers to the saucepan, followed by the vegetable broth and milk. Stir to combine.
3. Incorporate the soy sauce, curry powder, dried parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and sesame oil into the mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
4. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
5. Carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender. Blend until the soup is creamy but retains a slightly grainy texture for added depth.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of sesame oil for an extra touch of flavor.

Enjoy this spicy and creamy soup as a starter or a light main course, perfect for any occasion!
