"This is such an easy and quick soup to prepare. A perfect summertime treat. Yes, it is soup ... and yes, it is COLD. Something, that some people don't necessarily like to try. But believe me, it is delicious. Serve with an antipasto type of platter; cheese and crackers; or a smoked salmon panini - for the perfect light and delicious dinner. Makes great 'shooters' for a party, a starter dish for entertaining; or, just a light lunch or dinner dish. Just a few ingredients; and, just a few minutes in the blender is all it takes. Cook time includes the time to chill the soup."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Soup ... Add the watermelon, apple and lime juice, honey - start with 1/2 tablespoon (1/2-1 tablespoon depending on how sweet the watermelon is), mint, and, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger to the blender; then, puree until smooth. At this point, you can add a bit more honey or ginger if you want. I always add less to start with, as you can always add more if needed. Also, add a pinch of salt, and pulse once more to incorporate all the flavors.
Step 2
Transfer to a bowl or pitcher, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour until cold. I prefer to chill at least 4 hours, if possible.
Step 3
Finish and Serve ... I love to serve this in a wine or martini glass; then, garnish with a dollop of yogurt and a mint sprig. If you want to get fancy - a small skewer of small diced apples and watermelon; or a lime twist or wedge is also really nice. As mentioned. a nice starter dish, appetizer, 'shooters' for a party; or, a light lunch or dinner soup. Simply ENJOY!
