Nothing cools off the dog days of summer like a bowl of this refreshing watermelon chilled soup. It's subtle sweetness, touch of mint and pretty pink color make it especially appealing. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
12 cups seeded chopped watermelon |
2 cups chopped honeydew |
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves |
1/4 cup lime juice |
1 teaspoon salt |
topping: |
1/2 cup sour cream |
2 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature.
2. Working in batches if necessary, place the sugar mixture, watermelon, honeydew, mint, lime juice and salt in a food processor. Cover and process until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Combine sour cream and sugar. Garnish each serving with topping. Yield: 9 servings (2-1/4 quarts).
