"I developed this gazpacho recipe after trying a several different ones. It's more of a Mexican-tasting gazpacho, as opposed to a traditional Spanish one. I like serving this on a blistering hot day alongside something greasy like fried shrimp or black bean cakes. (The 2 hour cook time is how long this soup needs to chill)."

Step 1
In a blender, puree tomatoes, watermelon, and chili. Add lime juice and olive oil; pulse.
Step 2
Transfer mixture to a serving bowl. Add in green onions, cucumber, and cilantro. Add as much salt & pepper as desired, then chill soup in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Step 3
When ready to serve, ladle soup into bowls at the table. It is quite good by itself, but you can also top each serving with more cilantro, more lime juice, a dollop of sour cream/plain yogurt or a sprinkling of Cotija cheese.
