For the cucumber soup:

1) Saute a cup of chopped onion in butter/olive oil/margarine/etc.

P.S. You'll notice that the smiling face on the right is new to the p-flog. It's Jessica, one my greatest old friends from yesteryear, and she has just moved to Toronto. More precisely, she has just moved into my house. Let the p-flangels (picture food web log angels) rejoice!

P.P.S. I'm probably taking portmanteauing to a new and undesirable level, so I'll stop now.
