Tomato and Watermelon Soup with Fresh Basil

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups diced and cored assorted tomatoes
  • 2 cups chopped seedless watermelon
  • 1 cup chopped yellow peppers
  • 1 cup chopped red peppers
  • ½ cup chopped yellow, red onions
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar

For Garnish:

  • 2 cups assorted baby tomatoes, sliced in half
  • ½  cup fresh basil
  • 1 cup watermelon, diced

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.  Strain it through a sieve into a bowl.  Stir in ½ cup of honey and ¼  cup of rice wine vinegar and mix well.  Note:  If you like your soup sweeter, add a little more honey, and If you like it a little more acidic, add a little more vinegar (1T at a time).  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Chill overnight or a minimum of 4 hours.

For the garnish, mix the baby tomatoes, fresh basil, and watermelon together in a bowl.  Divide equally into serving bowls.  Pour chilled soup over each.

Makes 6-8 servings.
