Our Sunday evenings used not to be complete without Uncle's company at The Barn.
Starters and a nice bottle of wine are supplied by Hans. One such starter that also appears in our Perk Bartrum Family Cookbook is this soup to be served cold. I do not like prawns, but just to have the soup and pick out the prawns - I remember it tasting good.
"Some 7 years ago we were for a few days in Bangkok. We had dinner at the Oriental hotel and the soup was fantastic. Applying my charm I managed to get the recipe which follows below.
It is particularly suitable for the summer as it is served cold.
It is gorgeous and serving it to a lady on a balmy night guarantees a most pleasant evening."
1 cucumber
300 cc chicken stock ( 1 cube)
150 cc tomato juice
150 gram low fat yoghurt
150 cc single cream
125 gr cut up prawns
few drops of tabasco or something hot
1 tablespoon of chopped mint
1 large clove of garlic
salt and pepper to taste.
Hans also once made a great cold veg and peanut sauce meal, I must try and get the recipe, some did not like, but I really liked.
