About this recipe
Chilled melon and cucumber soup is a refreshing blend of sweet melon, fresh cucumber, yogurt, lime, and mint. Melon gives the base a delicate fruit flavor, cucumber keeps it light, and lime juice provides a tangy counterpoint. Mint heightens the cooling effect, making the soup especially welcome on a hot day. This unusual but simple chilled soup tastes best after a short rest in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
400 g melon
1 cucumber
250 ml yogurt
lime juice
a few mint leaves
Steps
Wash the melon before cutting it open, remove the rind and seeds, and cut the flesh into smaller pieces. Wash and trim the cucumber, then cut it up. Rinse the mint leaves, chill the yogurt and squeeze the lime juice separately.
Put the melon flesh and cucumber in the blender jug. Add the mint leaves and a little lime juice; reserve the remaining juice for seasoning.
Pour in the yogurt and blend for 60–90 seconds until the chilled soup is smooth. Taste and, if needed, add the reserved lime juice a few drops at a time, blending briefly after each addition.
Pour into a container with a lid and refrigerate for about 20 minutes. Serve once the soup is cold throughout; chill longer if needed. Stir before pouring.
