When it’s hot who would want to sit down to a steaming bowl of soup? Not I. One of my dear clients doesn’t either and requested a soup that she could serve chilled. She is always daring me to make something different so no gazpacho for her. I love honeydew melons and cucumbers always equals ‘refreshing’ in my mind to this is what I came up with:
Honey Dew Melon and Cucumber Soup
Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 cups cucumber — peeled and diced
2 cups honeydew melon — peeled, seeded and diced
1 small jalapeno — seeded and diced
2 tablespoons onion — diced
1 tablespoon mint — chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup water (I was draining some yogurt for yogurt cheese and used the whey instead of water)
1/3 cup olive oil (I used Bariani Extra Virgin – a very assertive olive oil)
Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Serve chilled.

So simple and you don’t have to heat up the kitchen!
Enjoy

Or you could just take all the raw ingredients (less the olive oil and water), throw some chaat masala on it and call it a summer salad. Mmmmmmmm…
