Thai Cucumber Soup

Ok, I know this looks like pond scum but it really did taste good! You could have it as a savoury veggie smoothie or a cold summer soup but I used hot water and made it warm.

… So you can have the much prettier before photo too.

It’s packed full of fantastically freshly grown herbs!

It looks like I’m playing a game of ‘how many herbs can you get in one soup!?’
