For a richer flavor, try roasting the cucumbers before adding them to the soup. A squeeze of lime juice at the end can brighten the flavors. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added texture and nutty flavor. If you don’t have fresh garlic, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder can be substituted. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.

Sep 26, 2024The spice level was perfect for me, but my partner found it a bit too hot. Next time, I'll make a milder batch.
