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 🙂
