Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never add whole garlic directly into the broth—it will make the soup cloudy and overly strong in flavor. Always strain only the garlic juice for a clean result.
  • Since cucumber softens the broth’s flavor, the broth should taste slightly salty before adding vegetables to ensure proper seasoning afterward.
  • For maximum savory depth, crush the sesame seeds by hand into a fine powder rather than adding them whole.

Recommended for

  • People who want to enjoy a cool, refreshing soup without using any heat on hot days.
  • Those seeking a quick and reliable way to make restaurant-quality cucumber cold soup at home without fail.
  • Individuals looking to revive their summer appetite with a sweet, sour, and nutty flavor profile.
