Lives up to it's name (SPIIICY!) I'll def. wanna make this more often, but twice the quantity. I added a dallop of sour cream to my bowl to calm my taste buds, and also garnished with parsley flakes. I subbed soy milk, and it was fine. This will clear your sinuses! LOVE IT!

Who ever thought a cucumber dish could have you running for a glass of milk! VERY spicy, could easily halve the spices and still get a good kick from this. My father and I mixed this soup into some leftover white rice and this created an excellent dish.

An excellent soup, totally defying the cliche "cool as a cucumber". This is one of the few recipes on here that I've ever cooked as is without any changes.

Excellent soup but half the spice if your feeding the average wife:) Very good with a dollop of sour cream.

This is excellent, even though I had to sub paprika for cayenne and left out the sesame oil. I also halved the amount of curry powder. Perfect.

Wow!!! This is good. I did not have the curry powder so I used corriandar. I did not use the cayenne. It would have been too spicy for my family. But WOW. I went to the garden and had 3 more cukes. I know I am doing with them.

This soup was awesome! Wasn't sure if I would like it given some of the mixed reviews. I didn't have any cayenne so I sub'ed a jalepeno. It was def. spicy, but not over the top. I also doubled the recipe and was glad i did. Just as easy to make twice as much, and even then it wasn't a big batch. It all fit in the blender in one batch (I held the top tight to make sure it didn't splash.) I'm trying to cut back on dairy, next time I will sub soy milk and I think it would still be great. This one is a keeper for sure.
