Prep Time: 15 minutes
Blending: 2 minutes
Total Time: 17 minutes
Servings: 8 cups

Ingredients

  • 8 cups watermelon peeled and diced
  • ½ cup red onion, diced
  • 2 cups cucumber, diced about 1 large cucumber
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt

Instructions

  • 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.
