Author Notes

It's hot down here, the kind of weather that cries out for chilled soups, lots of sunscreen, and afternoons by the pool with a good book ... (dang work ruins everything :-) - aargersi —aargersi

Test Kitchen Notes

I love chilled soup during the summer and this refreshing recipe has been added to my collection. Having forgotten to buy lemon yogurt, I used plain Greek yogurt and some Meyer lemon zest instead. Be certain to find a really ripe, luscious melon -- mine was mediocre but still worked OK. Aargersi advises us to chill the soup well and also the bowls, that's a great tip. I used a processor instead of a blender so no need to strain the soup. Thumbs up! - LiztheChef —Lizthechef

  • Serves 2 bowls
Ingredients
  • 1 cup English cucumber - peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup ripe honeydew melon, peeled seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup coconut water (I used Zico)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon yogurt
  • 2 mint leaves
  • paper thin slices of peeled cucumber and chopped mint for garnish
In This Recipe
Directions
  1. Blend the cucumber, melon, yogurt and coconut water until smooth, then pour through a strainer to remove any lumps. Put in the fridge to chill.
  2. Chill 2 bowls. Stir the soup back together (it will separate a little) and pour into the bowls. Top each with thin slices of cucumber and mint and serve. That's all there is to it!!
