Ingredients

• 3 medium Potatoes
• 2 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 small Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.

Step 2

Peel one of the cucumbers and dice it into small pieces. Leave the other cucumber unpeeled and slice it thinly for garnishing.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and stir for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Add the diced cucumber and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 10

Stir in the lemon juice for a fresh tangy finish.

Step 11

Serve the soup warm or chilled in bowls, garnished with the sliced cucumber and an additional sprinkle of fresh dill.
