There's nothing more refreshing than this soup, which comes together quickly in the blender. While tomato may be traditional, using watermelon as the main ingredient makes for an appealing twist. The seasonings - fresh herbs, lime, salt, and pepper - ensure this soup is savory, not sweet.

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the watermelon, tomato, and olive oil in a blender or food processor. Zest one of the limes and squeeze out the juice, add both to the blender and puree until smooth.

    I’m guessing this calls for 2 limes?
