This Easy Watermelon Gazpacho with cucumber and mint is a summery take on the traditional cold soup: gazpacho. You'll love this cold watermelon soup because it's packed with hydrating cucumber, sweet watermelon, refreshing mint - and no tomatoes!
Place ½ of the watermelon, red onion, cucumber and garlic into high speed blender.
Blend in a blender by pulsing for a few seconds each time until juices and water come out and there are no large pieces left (will be lumpy - it's ok!)
Add the juice of ½ of the lemon, add half the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and 1 pinch of salt. Stir to combine. Add to a large serving bowl or other container.
Repeat the process with the second half of ingredients.
Add the blended second half of ingredients to the first half in the large serving bowl or container.
Chill completed soup in fridge for an hour or overnight.
Serve with fresh basil or mint leaves on top.
Notes
You can also use a hand blender, instead of an upright blender.Do it in batches as per the recipe but instead of the blender, put the ½ of the ingredients into a large pot - I'll use my biggest one pot and blend the ingredients in there if using the hand blender.Keeps in the fridge in an air-tight container for 5 days.Nutrition Information is approximate.
