    Cool Cucumber Melon Soup

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on August 1, 2007 Appetizers, Dairy-Free Recipes, Soup

    This cool cucumber melon soup recipe and post comes from Hannah Kaminsky:

    In summer, Cold soup is where it’s at. The options are endless and easily adjusted to crazy, unpredictable harvest years.

    Of course there’s the simple but satisfying gazpacho that everyone always enjoys, but what if you’re looking for sweeter fare? Something to stave away the midday munchies that won’t make you work up a sweat or weigh you down? The secret was right in front of my nose all along, or should I say, my hands! Buying cucumber melon hand lotion for the umpteenth time, I began to wonder what it might actually taste like, imagining a refreshing pool of fruity water. Perhaps such an idea actually had merit, I mused as all the ingredients sat readily on the shelves, requiring no more than a bit of reconstructing to complete the dish.

    Author: Hannah Kaminsky
    Ingredients
    • One large seedless cucumber
    • One honeydew melon
    • 1 - 1½ cups dairy-free milk beverage
    • Agave, optional
    Instructions
    1. To make this simple dish, all you need to do is peel and chop the cucumber, gut and chop the honeydew melon, and throw all of the flesh into your food processor.
    2. Add in dairy-free milk alternative, depending on how thick or thin you like it, and if your fruit isn’t terribly sweet you could also incorporate a dollop or two of agave nectar.
    3. Ladle the soup into 2 - 4 bowls and garnish with balls of watermelon, carved out with a melon baller from as much watermelon as you want (although I highly suggest that you don’t skimp, as the watermelon “dumplings” are a wonderful treat!) If you want to skip the fancy stuff and just cut it into chunks then go ahead, I won’t tell.

      This is fantastic! I use unsweetened vanilla soy milk and with the hint of vanilla it doesn’t need agave or another sweetener. It’s so quick to make, waiting for it to chill in the fridge takes the longest time. I’ve seen other recipes with longer ingredient lists but I keep gravitating to this one. I’ve made it four times this past month and I can’t get enough of it. The watermelon dumplings do add a nice crunch but I don’t always fuss with them. This is a great hangover recipe as well as when it’s too hot to eat anything.
