MARTHA WASHINGTON'S CUCUMBER SOUP
Category: 18TH CENTURY . Serves: 6 . Long before Martha Washington served as First Lady, kitchen and farm gardens had gone beyond corn, beans and squash. A great variety of vegetables were grown including artichokes, cucumbers, cauliflower, peppers, asparagus, beets, peas, lettuce, and salad greens. This enabled Mrs. Washington to serve her guests sophisticated soups such as this one.
