Cold Watermelon Soup

A cool soup made with fresh watermelon and mint would just hit the spot on a sultry day, wouldn’t it? This fruity chilled soup will depend a lot on the sweetness of the watermelon so make sure you get the juiciest one before you begin the cooking process.

Cool Cucumber Soup

Cucumbers are one of the best foods you can have in summer. They are low in calories and contain magnesium, potassium, and vitamin K that can help in the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. Moreover, cucumbers are composed of about 96% water and hence help promote hydration. 

This simple cucumber soup is almost as good as a vegetable broth and you can have it for meals during the summer months with a slice of toasted bread and some cheese.

Ingredients:
Cucumber - 2 large (peeled and thinly sliced)
Avocado - 1/2 (ripe, chopped)
Lime juice - 1 lime
