Melon And Watermelon Soup
Advertisement
Who said that soup should be: 1. Hot 2. Spiced 3. Made with only vegetables/meat 4. Simmered with stock vegetable / meat 5. Cooked till thick.Thinking beyond the normal soup making, I opted for a soup with fruit. In the hot summers we crave cool recipes and cannot eat much of carbohydrates. For people like me, I am averse to anything hot.This soup was the successful implementation of merging simple summer fruits and juices into a medley so lovely that I could not have enough of this! I also made this recipe exclusively for adults using sweet wine for a Champagne party for one of my friends. As I did not attend the party I got rave reviews for the version and so am sharing the same here as well.
