Cucumber Soup

Cucumber is one of the very low calories vegetables. It contains no saturated fats or cholesterol. It helps reduce constipation. It is a very good source of potassium, which helps reduce blood pressure and heart rates by countering effects of sodium. It is a great antioxidant. Moreover, it has high amount of vitamin K, which has been found to have potential role in bone strength.
