We have a huge garden in Malibu and during the summer months, just a few plants of cucumbers can turn into at least 30-40 cucumbers growing wherever they can find room. The photo might look nice on the presentation but there is nothing fancy here! I just added a little bite to the dish by adding a roasted poblano. Add a little yogurt to the soup for body and acid. Here is the easy summer recipe, I hope you enjoy it.
