This is awesome, I used to have this in HK a lot. but pity that the old cucumber is not accessible here in CH. My mom makes the soup in a slightly different way.

wow, this is one of my favourite soups, I LOVE a hot piping bowl of soup, especially since it’s getting cooler here, I think it’s time to boil some soup! Old cucumber soup is very nutritious I believe, and I do love to put dried cuttlefish into my soups too

Kens soup recipes: Feel free to try it even if you can’t find the dried cuttlefish… the rest of the ingredients should make the soup sweet too … thanks for visiting

I’ve never seen a cucumber like this before. If I could find one and a dried cuddlefish I would try this recipe.

Ha I always like to dump a bowl of rice in the soup and just finish everything in 10 mins!

Occasionally one of my cucumbers gets hidden and gets very old and hard-skinned. Now I know what to make with it. I love learning more about the yin and yang foods!

Katie: It’s hard for me to describe the taste, but to me I think it gives a sweet and slightly fishy taste (in a good way) to Chinese-styled clear soups. Oh btw, the dried cuttlefish is used to flavour the soup and is not meant to be eaten. It’s usually discarded after the boiling.

I don’t think I have ever seen a cucumber like that. The cucumber soup looks good.
