About this Recipe
By: Julia
Now pickles are usually made with vinegar while dill cucumbers are made with salty water, variety of spices and dill of course. They’re my favourite ones!
You can buy them in supermarkets or deli or make them yourself which is the best option! When cucumber season comes I’ll be sharing my recipe.
So let’s make the soup!
