Cucumber and Lettuce Soup is a perfect choice for a healthy and a soulful Dinner on any day. The best part is that it can be relished both warm and chilled. That's the beauty of this versatile Soup. Creamy, velvety and luscious to the last sip. It's always a delight at the table. It's always welcomed in my family and they just love it to the core. I have used Romaine Lettuce and English Cucumber in this Soup.

Serve it to your families and friends, relatives or special guests on any occasion or a get together. They would just love it for a yummy starter. Simple ingredients go into making this one. Nothing much complicated. Simple yet filling and wholesome. Easy to make on any day. It will surely adorn your dining tables.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
