Cucumber

I make cucumber soup, DH likes it in his flask as it’s not too thick.
If it tastes bitter, the cucumber must have been bitter in the first place I think, not really the fault of the soup.

I had a glut of cucumbers from the greenhouse this summer and once the family, friends and neighbours got sick of them, I made green pea and cucumber soup. It was horribly bitter; inedible really. I agree with Callistemon, it's best pickled with thinly sliced onions.

Make soup then freeze it. There arelots of recipes for cucumber soup available online.

I threw my cucumber soup away - even after following the recipe exactly it tasted bitter.

Good idea M0nica. Thanks all.

No, but they are lovely pickled

No, it goes lank and watery, no crispness and flavour left.

As it is 98% water, it will just turn into a block of ice and then collapse on thawing.

I wouldn't have thought so. You'd end up with the same mush once thawed.
