My dear friend Angela makes this cold soup often and sent me her recipe and recommended I try it… and so I did!
An alternative to the traditional Gazpacho soup which is made with chilled tomatoes or other vegetables and spices. This chilled soup is made using honeydew melon, fresh herbs, and lime juice.
The outcome was fantastic! It was quick to make and tasted delicious!
With sweltering temperatures and heat continuously rising, this chilled soup recipe may be just the thing to add to your menu to enjoy something soothing and cool!
Besides no cooking involved, this cold summer soup is truly a winner! It takes minutes to make and makes an elegant presentation that will amaze your family and guests.
It’s even fancy enough to serve as the first course at dinner, or as an appetizer for a special occasion, soiree, or a luncheon.
The fresh herbs along with fresh lime juice give this soup its soothing, clean taste. It’s so refreshing, you’ll enjoy every single bite.
And if you want to add a little more flavor to this soup, serve it with a small dollop of sour cream on top, or drizzle with some creme fraiche across the top of each bowl.
It’s sublime!
Served chilled, this soup will positively WOW your family and guests after their first taste.
Perfect soup to serve on a hot summer day!
