The “Digital Chef”: Expert tricks for a perfect texture

The main secret of great chefs to master the cold cucumber soup with salmon in Thermomix lies in the intelligent management of the vegetable’s skin. If you peel the cucumbers completely, the soup will lose that characteristic and magnetic emerald green color that enters the eyes directly.

Therefore, we advise you to peel them alternately, leaving longitudinal strips of skin that will provide color, texture and extra healthy fiber. Likewise, it is vital to remove the inner germ of the garlic clove to soften its potency and prevent the flavor from recurring hours later.

Questions People Really Ask (PAA)

How long does cucumber soup last in the refrigerator?
You can keep it perfectly in an airtight glass container for a maximum of 48 hours. As it does not contain eggs or highly unstable elements, it is kept in optimal conditions if the cold chain is not broken.

Can cold cucumber soup be frozen?
It is not recommended at all. Cucumber has an extremely high percentage of water and, when thawed, the cellular structures completely break down, causing the emulsion to break down and lose its original creamy texture.

What can I use instead of Greek yogurt?
However, if you are looking for a lighter alternative, 0% fat whipped fresh cheese or thick kefir work wonders. They provide that necessary acidic touch without adding extra calories to the summer preparation.

How do I prevent cucumber soup from being bitter?
Make sure to cut both ends of the cucumber and rub them in a circular motion before peeling to remove the bitter resin. In addition, buying medium-sized specimens guarantees that the inner seeds do not alter the final flavor.

Can I use fresh salmon instead of smoked?
Of course. You can steam some cubes of fresh salmon using the Varoma accessory on your robot for 8 minutes and add them warm to the cold soup to achieve a spectacular temperature contrast.
