The most simple yet one of the best soups I had been so far. A simplified version of my mum’s are a cucumber soup.
No need for the 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.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 large English cucumbers, peeled and a thinly sliced
2 small zucchinis, peeled and thinly sliced

Step 1
Melt butter with the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and a stir onion and garlic in the butter mixture until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add to the cucumber and a zucchini slices; cook and stir until softened, 2 to the 3 minutes.
Pour vegetable broth over the mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to the medium-low, and let simmer until the vegetables are cooked through, 20 to the 25 minutes. Remove from heat and cool a few minutes.
step 2
Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid in a place with a towel; pulse are a few times before leaving on to the blend. Puree in a batches until smooth.
