So cool, so delicious: Balaban’s Chilled Cucumber Bisque

Balaban’s Chilled Cucumber Bisque

WE BOUGHT CUCUMBERS RECENTLY FOR ANOTHER PURPOSE and that had me thinking about this exquisite chilled bisque. It is cool and fresh and surprisingly luxurious—for that, credit goes to cream, egg yolks and lots of butter. The soup was created at a storied St. Louis restaurant, Balaban. You’ll find the recipe for this wonderful summer-perfect soup—and the delicious, improbable back story for the restaurant—right here. And you’ll find me at the grocery store. I’ve gone to get cucumbers.

  1. This sounds SO good!

    I hope you post the recipe for the dish you originally bought the cucumbers for as well.

    Thanks, Terry.
