Chilly Watermelon Soup image

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;)
