Cold cucumber, cold squash, and cold zucchini soups - all good. One could even think about cold pumpkin and gourd soup as well.

One might even wonder about lettuce, celery, celeriac, (fennel), cabbage, kale, tree kale, collard, tree collard, brussel sprout, broccoli, broccolini, cauliflower soups - all yum in the hot times. Don't forget the root vegs - carrot, salsify, beet, mangel, turnip, rutabaga (swede), jicama, potato, sweet potato, and yam root soups. Back to nature. Back to healthy eating.

Old Braun stuff is particularly good in my experience. Their newer immersion blenders are good too. That said, I got a vitamix last year and I love it! I love how simple, robust, and easy to repair (if necessary) they are.

When I grew up there were 3 TV stations and PBS. From kindergarten I watched sesame street and then the Galloping Gourmet then Julia Child and that is where I was introduced to Jacques. I'm 60 now and about to retire as a chef. I will forever be grateful for PBS and my Jacques Pépin the teacher who taught me many things including how to create meals for all of my guests. Thank you!

it's incredible to me that Jacques Pépin, known for being a world class chef, ultimately finds enjoyment in a dish as simple as cucumber soup. there is both beauty and a lesson in that

Yeah the lesson is if you have cukes going in the garden you gotta use them

Please tell me that that is a Costco rotisserie chicken in the background. Jaques Pepin is the absolute best.

Love this treasure of a chief, so humble. I never get tiered of watching him. I watched him as a teen with my mother when Julia had her show. What fun they were to watch having fun cooking ❤️ 😊

That is a cook's kitchen.

I make this often and it’s everything he says. I also can substitute cantaloupe for cucumber and serve for desert. Other melons work too.

You all have great microphones. Those garlic cloves sounded like diamonds dropping into the blender. Thanks for this perfect warm month recipe

The bright side of internet give us a chance to be in the kitchen with such a lovable chef as Jacques Pépin

one of my most favourite chefs of all time. Huge inspiration

A bottle of chilled chenin blanc, some cold seafood and maybe lox or smoked salmon and sorbet and fresh fruit to finish - delicious and refreshing!

The authentic cold cucumber soup is from the east mediterranean, and goes by many names. In Bulgaria they call it "Tarator". There are dozens of greek and Turkish variations of the same thing. I think most of them use dill and not mint, Usually no water (as cucumbers are watery enough) and you use strong lamb yogurt. One thing - we never do it in the electric blender of food processor - always hand grit the cucumber, and so you have "something to byte" in your mouth-fulls of soup. We also cool it long time in the fridge before serving - it is really marvelous when it's very hot outside. Very refreshing.

As a Bulgarian, I agree with the above. Although we don't put mint in the tarator, I kind of like the idea. I'll give this one a try in a month :)

This is so much easier than the version I have that requires me to cook my cucumbers in chicken stock before chilling and adding yogurt and dill. I’m tossing that recipe of 40 years for this one!!!

Great recipe Thank you

superamazing!

Definitely going to try this this week. Summer in Florida is hot! This will be refreshing 🥰

Absolute legend.

I can smell the fresh cucumbers mmmmmmmmmmmm

Can`t wait till we harvest our cukes so we can give it a go.

Jacques I love it this is first time I’ve seen this video and that’s exactly how I do my cucumber soup. From Southern California with much love💋

I'm making this in about a week when my cukes are ready. Thank you Chef!

He is the best chef.

I will try this, it looks delicious! Never had anything like that before.

Bless Chef Pépin, just a huge inspiration to me. Learned my knife skills from him.

I loooove soups and eat them all the time. In summer is a bit of a struggle though. This will be perfect for me and looks delicious

I'll try this. A southern tradition is thinly sliced cucumbers, salt and peppered but pepper 2 to 1 over the salt and just vinegar poured over them .

God bless you

Thank you, sir, for your many years of instructing and amusing us, I look forward to trying this recipe, I love tzatziki, this sounds wonderful.

That was so quick!! Normally additional courses intimidate me because of the extra time but not this one!

well done

Jack makes it look so effortless. G.O.A.T.

Jacques made our tzatziki a soup. Well done 😂

Ah, M. le chef, intéressant comme d'habitude 😊 Je dirais que cela ressemble à chutney ou à raita. D'ailleurs, on pourrait laisser la chair du concombre dans la soupe. Ça serait meilleur qu'ajouter de l'eau et l'on ne gaspille pas de matières mangeables. Que diriez-vous? 🍵🥄

I use dill instead of mint and no jalapeño but chopped green onion on top.😊

With the cucumbers and mint coming out of Jack's garden, it's gonna taste much better than ours. Ingredients make a huge difference!! Cold soups are underappreciated - a good idea for the summer. But some people have an aversion to the idea of cold soup.

Some people don't like brains either. I love cold soups, and Chef Pepin and the suggestions here have me planning my garden for next summer.

I will try tis method next time with the butter milk I will add a little of the halopenos, tabasco, as well. I have always diced my cucs but I have a smoothy maker, I have made broccoli soup with it, and that turned out very good, but try making it next time with the butter milk it is somewhat simpler with less ingredients i only add green onions, but this one looks good as well.

This is what they ate at Aunt Josephines house.

I never heard of such a thing as cucumber soup. No! With yogurt? No! Try cucumber(as it is) with miso, gochujang, garlic, and sesame oil dip. I never heard of such a thing as blending a cucumber. But then, I am not Pepin and never had a French dish. Well, bon apetit!
