it’s not a must though they make the soup extra sweet. Just season the soup at the end to taste with either salt or light soy sauce :)

I love these Chinese soups especially they are cooked the Cantonese style. Is it a must to add carrots and sweet corn? The kind of double boiled old cucumber soup I tried before don’t have these ingredients.

I tried making the soup last week. Modified your recipe a little (omitted the cuttlefish, added more scallops/honey dates/ribs/water). It tasted really good! Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I did not put any red dates but my soup turned out to be sour too! When I cooked the first time it was ok. Not sure why this time was like that. Was wondering if the old cucumber was not mature/ripe enough?

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 :)
