CHILLED WATERMELON SOUP
This simple, refreshing gazpacho-like chilled soup depends on the sweetness of the watermelon, tempered by the addition of olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and salt, to create the perfect balance of flavors. A little spiciness in the form of cayenne or crushed red pepper is welcome, too, as is an extra squeeze of lime juice at the table.

CHILLY WATERMELON SOUP
I got this recipe out of a magazine years ago while on vacation at the Beach. It was very hot and I remember looking at the article and saying to my DH "I want some of this now." Well, we got home and I made it. Even my DH liked it after all his balking about cold soup and just eat watermelon in slices...I love him anyway;)
