Melt butter in a saucepan, put in cucumbers, onions, potatoes, salt, garlic and pepper. Smother the vegetables, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring from time to time. Pour over stock, put in Bouquet Garni, check season, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove Bouquet, pass soup through a fine sieve, pressing vegetables through.
