What a simple, healthy recipe! Thanks! Will try this.

I’ll have to try this one too! Where do you get your idea’s?
this idea came from one soup I ate while we were on vacation in Central America
some ideas from friends, some from cookbooks, some from soups I ate at restaurants
I used my family to have soup everyday and now I have to come up with something new almost every day
What a great combination! A perfect cool meal for the hot weather we’re having!
after a long cold winter, hot summer finally arrived
thanks God someone invented chilled soups 🙂

This is definitely the first Watermelon Tomato Soup recipe I have ever seen. Looks like a great summer soup. Now I just need a food processor!
Thanks.
You can use the blender, the watermelon and tomatoes are easy to puree.
I love fresh and simple. I have a monster blender that would whip this up fast! Lovely!
What a unique and delicious recipe, thanks for sharing this one!
Great watermelon gazpacho! I have been making them often during summer, so refreshing! Very lovely soup!
Dear Friend!
Greetings!
Great idea! The more for it as watermelon is a very healthy fruit!
About the Japanese plums used in Umeshu, they are indeed a Japanese variety. They are not edible raw,even ripe, but they are once pickled or marinated as the Japanese found out a long time ago!
Best regards,

Sounds like a very refreshing soup. Never thought of combining water melon with the other ingredients here. But I love the color and idea. Great for summer!
Too bad summer is almost gone, next year I’ll try new combination
