What you should know
It takes about 35 min to finish. Cucumbers in brine are the key ingredient in here. DO NOT buy American brands. Find Arabic brands like “Mid-east” or “Beit Hashita” or of course if you can get polish then you pimping ‘. You can add more brine from cucumbers to make it a bit more sour. I prefer that. Maggi seasoning is an european version of soy sauce, most of american markets carry it.

Lucas. This soup looks like a lot of fun. I am tempted to give it a try, but I want to do it right. I am not familiar with Vegeta. Is this a spice? Is it widely available?
