Healthy Soup Recipes: Watermelon Strawberry Soup

Healthy soup recipes aren't just for cold winter days.

This watermelon and strawberry soup is served chilled and is perfect for a light lunch on a hot summer day or served as starter at a barbecue or picnic.

What a wonderful cooling combination. It's not only a low calorie soup. The combination of fruits and the addition of the yogurt makes it healthy too.

Ingredients:

4 cups watermelon chunks
1 pint strawberries
1/2 cup yogurt
1 lemon (or 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice)
2 tablespoons sugar
fresh mint (optional)

Hull the strawberries. Peel and seed watermelon, cut into thumb sized chunks.

Put watermelon and sugar into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into chilled bowl.

Juice the lemon. Blend strawberries in the blender and slowly add yogurt and lemon juice while blending. Pour into bowl with watermelon and stir well. Put into the fridge for at least 2 hours. Use the fresh mint to garnish. Serve ice-cold.
