I got this recipe out of a magazine years ago while on vacation at the Beach. It was very hot and I remember looking at the article and saying to my DH I want some of this now. Well, we got home and I made it. Even my DH liked it after all his balking about cold soup and just eat watermelon in slices…I love him anyway;) Ingredients:
1 inch piece gingerroot, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
2 limes, use one for zest and both for juice |
3 cups cubed and seeded watermelon |
2 mint leaves, plus |
more mint leaf, for garnish, if desired |
1/2 cup sparkling wine or 1/2 cup sparkling water |
Directions:
1. In a small nonstick skillet gently saute ginger,brown sugar and lime zest over medium heat for 2 minutes.
2. Add lime juice and simmer until no liquid remains.
3. Transfer mixture to a blenderor or food processor and add watermelon,mint leaves and sparkling wine/water.
4. Puree until smooth; strain with sieve into bowl.
5. Chill soup for at least 3 hours.
