An unusual cucumber cold soup that awakens the appetite with juicy mini Delaware grapes bursting in a tangy-sweet cold soup base, paired with cucumber and lettuce.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • To remove fine particles or stubborn residues on the grape surface, soak the grapes in flour water for about 10 minutes before rinsing.
  • For a natural fruit flavor in the cold soup, use small, seedless 'Delaware grapes'—they are easy to eat and perfectly complement the dish.
  • Raw onions can be sharp; if you're sensitive to heat, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce its pungency before adding.
  • After cooking, ice melts and dilutes the soup’s seasoning, so prepare the base slightly saltier than usual to maintain balance.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, tangy boost to revive their appetite during sweltering summer heat.
  • People wanting to go beyond basic cucumber cold soup and try a unique, visually and taste-pleasing version with sweet fruit.
  • Individuals who want to enjoy nutritious, metabolism-friendly lettuce and grapes in a light, fresh way every day.
