CHILLED MANGO AND CUCUMBER SOUP RECIPE
When we think of mango and cucumber, refreshing comes to our minds…and we LOVE that this Chilled Mango and Cucumber Soup recipe can be made in a blender.
During testing, we made it even faster when using frozen mango in a Blendtec or Vitamix high powered blender!
This soup is a great starter to a heavier meal, especially on those warmer evenings since it’s served cold… and of course, can be served as a light lunch or snack too.
I have also had this soup when doing a cleanse in the summer, for something light and nourishing instead of a smoothie.
Perfect oil free soup recipe that’s also great for low sugar and low carb diet.
If you have been looking for a tasty soup to try, this one is a MUST! For a vegan orย raw soup recipe, use filtered water instead of chicken stock.
As always, we recommend buying organic cucumber since the skin is the most nutritious part and it’s also part of the dirty dozen.
I know you’ll love this highly nutritious and hydrating mango & cucumber soup recipe as much as we do!
