It's the tail end of summer and my local farmer's market is bursting with cucumbers. Baskets are overflowing with bumpy, crunchy picklers and cool, mild slicers. Lemon cukes practically beg to be eaten like apples. My three-year-old loves cucumbers and she picks one from every produce vendor at the market as we go along. "Here comes the cucumber girl," they say. I then drag my heavy bag home and whip up a batch of cold cucumber soup. I love soup. It's a comfort food for me and I eat it year-round. All summer long I make quarts and quarts of cold soups like gazpacho or vichyssoise, but to me, icy, cucumber soup is the most refreshing of the bunch. It's like summer in a bowl.
