Summer is here and you can find delicious mouth watering watermelon on almost every corner and what better way to enjoy all the wonderful flavor in your melon than by making a gorgeous chilled watermelon soup! This recipe is very easy to make and very refreshing on a hot summers day! My kids actually love eating it and have a great time picking out cute colorful bowls to serve them in. We always make watermelon water to serve with it and end up having a good old fashioned watermelon party.
Chilled Watermelon Soup
Ingredients
- 10 cups red seedless watermelon, diced
- 2 tablespoons Cayenne Pepper
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup water mixed with 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cucumber cut into bite size pieces
- ½ yellow pepper chopped
- Thyme for garnish
Preparation
1) To begin making your watermelon soup combine 1 cup of the watermelon with Cayenne, cucumber, yellow pepper and sugar in a bowl.
2) Set this to the side and let marinate a bit.
3) Blend remaining ingredients: watermelon, lime juice, and water mixture, in a blender until smooth.
4) Place all ingredients in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 2 hours.
5) Strain your watermelon soup through a strainer or cheese cloth and place into individual serving bowls.
6) Top each with reserved watermelon and top with thyme. Enjoy!
There are so many ways to enjoy watermelon and the best time is when they are in season. This is when you can get the moist flavor out of them.

I love that this soup has some cayenne pepper for some kick! I found this lovely recipe on the In and Out of the Kitchen link party and thought I’d stop by. I am currently doing a call out for no-bake recipes on my recipe link party, The Yuck Stops Here and would love it if you would bring this recipe and any of your other no-bake favorites to the party! The party starts tonight (Tuesday) at 8pm ET and can be found on my blog, Hot Momma’s Kitchen Chaos. I hope to see you there! HUGS

Visiting from #SayGdayParty. Watermelon and lime sound really good together. The cayenne is intriguing!
This looks delicious. We’ve been enjoying watermelon for a few weeks. Can’t wait to try this for variety. I’m intrigued by the cayenne seasoning. I love spicey food and think this will be the perfect kick for a chilled soup. Thanks for sharing.
