Quick and Cool Summer Soup


VERY EASY
LUNCH DINNER
SERVES 4








My daughter really doesn't do Gazapcho, so this is an alternative for something light and refreshing perfect on a hot day as a starter or a light supper.  Most kids love all types of melon this is just another way of eating it. My father in-law makes it a little different with cream instead of cream cheese.  I've played around with this a little by adding lime juice or lemon juice but Aina just loves it really simple.  I like to top it with crispy iberic pernil to give it some texture!  Must be served really chilled - enjoy!

Ingredients
  • half a melon
  • 1 tsp soft cheese (Philadelphia)
  • 3 leaves of mint (or more if preferred)
  • to garnish crispy iberic ham
Method
Cut melon into small chunks, add the cheese and mint and whiz with a hand mixer (or blender)and puree until smooth. Put the soup in the fridge it´s much nicer really chilled.
