Put the diced potatoes into boiling water, reduce the heat, and cook until tender.
Drain the broth from the potatoes temporarily, mash the potatoes, and then cover with the broth (puree should be of medium consistency.). Add milk and sour cream to the potatoes, and add a bit of salt and pepper.
Cut the cucumbers into cubes. If the skin is hard, remove it. Add the cucumbers to the soup, and cook over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the cucumbers become soft.
Sprinkle the soup with greens and serve. The soup is delicious both hot and warm.

The fatter you choose the cream and sour cream, the thicker the soup will be. If you like lighter foods, use low-fat ingredients.
When buying a cucumber, pay attention to its appearance: too many sharp bumps on the surface of the cucumber can be a sign of excessive use of chemicals by the producer.
If you are using yellow cucumbers, keep in mind that yellow cucumbers must be soaked in water before eating or pickling because of their bitter taste.
