Not Chick'n Bouillon Cubes Soups & Stews

Chilled Cucumber-Cilantro Soup

Vegan Miam has published this great Chilled Cucumber-Cilantro Soup recipe using our Edward & Sons Natural Bouillon Cubes:

“Sweltering hot days in Oregon, what you need desperately is a chilled and refreshing soup. We made Mark Bittman’s Asian-Style Cucumber Soup (view here) with some substitutions and it wasn’t vegan. We used tamari and Edward & Sons Not-Chick’n Bouillon to make a gluten-free version. This vegan and gluten-free Chilled Cucumber-Cilantro Soup is filled with loads of beautiful healthy greens you can find at farmers’ market: cucumbers, chili, scallions, arugula, cilantro and mint.”

Chilled Cucumber-Cilantro Soup
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced thinly using a mandolin
  • ¼ cup tamari
  • 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 small Thai chili, stemmed, seeded and minced, or ¼ teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon agave nectar or maple syrup
  • 3 cups vegan ‘chik’n stock, chilled (Edward & Sons Not-Chick’n Bouillon Cubes)
  • ¼ cup minced scallions, both white and green parts
  • 1 cup chopped arugula
  • 1 cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint

Method

In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, tamari, rice vinegar, chili, and agave. Refrigerate uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes. Pour stock to the mixture and add the rest of the greens: arugula, cilantro and mint. Taste and adjust seasoning (add more tamari or rice vinegar).
