Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 cups of diced watermelon
  • 500 g / 3 medium ripe tomatoes
  • 15 cm of  cucumber, peeled
  • ¼ small red onion
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • ½ green pepper (I used a pointy one)
  • handful of fresh basil
  • 1 tsp Tabasco
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 20 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 slice of crusty stale bread (optional)
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Instruction

  • Roughly chop tomatoes, cucumber and pepper. Remove seeds from watermelon.
  • Chuck all vegetables, basil and olive oil into a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Season with Tabasco, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • OPTIONAL: If you want a slightly thicker texture, immerse a slice of stale bread in the blended soup for 5 mins and then blend it into the soup.
  • Put the soup in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Garnish with fresh basil, tiny cubes of cucumber and watermelon, a drizzle of olive oil and freshly ground pepper.
