Cooked gently over a low heat, lamb shank becomes meltingly tender—perfect for an elegant, restorative broth.

For an extra decorative effect, serve this soup topped with "spaghetti": use the comb blade on a mandolin or cut the cucumber into ribbons and then slice them into thin strips using a very sharp knife.
