I served this at a dinner party last night and received rave reviews. I found the toppings sank - except for the parsey and nuts but that was not a bad thing - eash bowl received equal amounts of tomato, green onion etc. Eating outside with a full moon over the harbor helped the ambience.

This is so refreshing and light! I LOVED the relish on top. I have been giving this recipe link out to a ton of people. They are all excited to make it for themselves! Great spring/ summer soup to dress up any table.

This soup came out incredibly watery and tasted mostly like sour cream flavored milk. I added double the amount of cucumbers, the last batch unpeeled and that helped to give it more thickness and texture and spiced it up with pepper to start with. After that it was servable... Nice and refreshing

Personally I would not have given it five stars but my guy LOVED IT! He said it was probabaly one of my best soups - and I make lots of soups. He had it every night before dinner until it was gone. I followed the recipe exactly. He loved the almonds in it so I guess I won't leave that out the next time I serve it.

This was pretty good, I've never had cucumber soup before so I don't have much to compare it to. I'll probably make this again. The almonds on top were perfect for this recipe.

The longer it sits the better it tastes. I like to use Greek Yogurt. This is wonderful for a hot summer day.

I love this soup. I even sometimes make it with fat-free yogurt, fat-free sour cream, lowfat versions, whatever, it always tastes great. I always try to use fat-free chicken broth. It keeps very well in the refrierator, too.
