  1. I am so in love w/this soup, much more than I already knew I would be. I see this lovely, light & tasty soup as definitely company-worthy, esp as a starter for an otherwise heavy dinner party meal. It also has the advantage of being a make-ahead easy-fix. I made 2 sml chgs - 1 out of pers pref & 1 out of need. Green onions are only available here occ, so I subbed fresh-snipped chives. I also added 1 tsp Old Bay which I usually do in shrimp & crab dishes as I favor the flavor it lends to them. Using half shrimp & half crabmeat would be another excellent variation I cannot wait to try. Thx for sharing this sure to be repeated *winner recipe* w/us. *Yum* :-)
     
  2. This is a different chilled soup, I really have not had anything like this before, I have to say it is very tasty, my DS enjoyed this for lunch in a big mug. I used small canned salad shrimp, and crushed the cucumber on my prosessor until very finely minced. This would make a great summertime soup! thanks Paula...Kitten

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
