Cucumber Soup with Apple: Preparation Method
Peel the apples and cucumbers, then grate them on a fine grater. In a pan, melt the butter and sauté the apples. When they begin to brown slightly, add the grated cucumbers. Sauté everything for a few minutes. Meanwhile, cook the rice in salted boiling water, then season it with turmeric and pepper.
Transfer the apple and cucumber mixture to a large container. Pour in the broth and blend it into a smooth cream, then transfer it back to the pot. Bring it to a boil over medium heat. Add the pickle juice and coconut milk, and mix well. In the final stage, add a bit of honey, and serve the finished soup with the cooked, seasoned rice. Enjoy!
