One more question! Do ya peel the cucumber?

Aisling · 01-03-2006, 12:57 PM

That looks so yummy!

Reporting: I ended up not peeling my cucumber because I wasn't sure if hubby bought organic or not. I guessed on the measurements and had to add a little bit of soy milk to thin the soup out a little.

This soup was VERY GOOD even with the frozen corn (great flavor, but a some of the corn kernels didn't completely blend in). I can't imagine how incredible it will taste when we get some fresh corn!!!!

Thank you SO much for bumping this up. Yesterday I bought 8 ears of corn and have no clue what to do w/them!

So - after you put all the pretty stuff in, do you mix it up (the guac & peppers) or are they just decoration? I wanna make this tonight. And you're sure it doesn't taste milky with a weird corn taste?

Oh my gosh this looks and sounds so good!! Thanks soooo much for bumping!!!

My reply didn't post. I just added extra peppers and guac for decoration.

Attempting my first foray into official "raw food"... I made this yesterday evening from some veggies we had sitting around. I used two ears of fresh corn, one unpeeled chopped Armenian cucumber (the little teeny ones), half an avocado, a handful of sliced almonds, and some almond milk. I seasoned it with salt, a little white pepper, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and a pinch of dried chipotle powder.

Not bad! It was so thick that I don't think I'd call it a "soup,"

but it was tasty, and kinda pretty with the flecks of dark green cuke skin and dark red pepper flakes. The texture needs work, though -- the corn kernel skins were a little annoying, but maybe that just takes some getting used to. Or a better blender. I used a Magic Bullet and blended it for what seemed like a long time, but maybe it should have been in longer, I don't know...

I haven't bought into the Raw Food doctrine.

So it could be that the nut milk or spices made it officially "not raw," but I care not. It tasted good. (And of course, I mean absolutely no offense to those who do eat raw! I bet it's a real challenge.)

This would make a fantastic dip for tortilla chips, by the way! Mmmmmm.

It's totally o.k. that you haven't bought into the raw food doctrine yet! When this was first posted, I was just experimenting on and off if a recipe sounded good. It wasn't till about 5 weeks ago that I decided to give it a huge shot. Right now, I'm eating raw for breakfast and lunch and any snacks. I generally eat what the family does for dinner, but a smaller portion and some extra raw stuff at that time and I feel fantastic!!!! This combination is working for me right now. I'd like to eventually go more raw, but it's just not practical right now, so I'm doing what I can. I will tell you that when I first started to try going raw or veggie in the past I felt crummy. One of the mamas here pointed out that I wasn't getting enough fats and sugars and that was why I didn't feel so good, plus I was detoxing a bit which can make anyone feel gross. All that to say that we will take you where you are at! If you want to just try a recipe here and there--great! If you want more, there is support.

BTW--I also felt that the corn skins were a bit tough and wondered if I had a vitamix or similar if they would blend better.
