In weather like this, all you can think about is “COOL”…..well there is nothing like a Watermelon and Raspberry Chilled Soup. We grow our own Raspberries and use them three meals a day. You can get very creative with this soup….if you do not like the below garnish, then some lump crab meat and slivered basil will be great too,…… no matter what, this cool refreshing soup is great on hot day like today and will keep in your fridge for 2-3 days……ENJOY!!!!!

Makes 4 servings as an appetizer
•    2 cups watermelon, diced and seeded
•    1 cup raspberries
•    freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 lime
•    1 tsp freshly grated ginger root
•    1 tsp balsamic vinegar
•    pinch of sea salt
•    honey, maple syrup or sugar to taste (optional)

Garnish

•    Greek yogurt
•    mint, slivered
•    pistachios, chopped

Purée the watermelon and raspberries in a blender. If raspberry seeds bother you, strain the liquid through a sieve. If they don’t, use the fruit purée as is.

Add the lime, ginger, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of sea salt. Taste the soup. Depending on how sweet your fruit is, you may want to add a splash of honey, maple syrup or sugar. Chill the soup for an hour or until you’re ready to eat.
Pour the soup into bowls, adding a dollop of Greek yogurt in the centre. Sprinkle with slivered mint and chopped pistachios. Serve while cold.
