I know that this might sound a bit weird for an English speaking world, but this cucumber Low FODMAP soup is very tasty! There is one condition for you – you must like fermented cucumbers in brine. And, of course it is the best to make them yourself, to omit the garlic, which usually floats in a brine with cucumbers.
