Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Honey (optional)
- 0.25 cups Cold water
Instructions
Cut the watermelon into chunks, removing seeds if not using a seedless variety. Measure out 4 cups.
Peel the cucumbers. Slice them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds. Chop into chunks.
In a blender, combine the watermelon, cucumber, lime juice, mint leaves, Greek yogurt (if using), salt, black pepper, and honey (if using).
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add up to 0.25 cups of cold water to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice, as needed.
Transfer the blended soup to a large bowl or pitcher. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and to chill thoroughly.
Before serving, stir the soup and give it a final taste. Serve chilled in bowls or cups, garnished with a small sprig of mint or a thin slice of cucumber.
