Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Slice the cucumber thick enough so that it maintains its crisp texture in the broth.
  • Since the ice will dilute the broth as it melts, adjust the initial seasoning slightly saltier than usual.
  • Adding 2 tablespoons of lemon juice enhances the clean, refreshing flavor without any off-notes.

Recommended for

  • People who want to make a refreshing broth dish in just 5 minutes without using a gas stove during hot summer days.
  • Those seeking a cucumber cold soup recipe with the perfect balance of tanginess and umami.
  • Individuals craving a cool, crunchy meal when their appetite is low.
