Ingredients

4 hothouse cucumbers, peeled and cut in medium dice
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 honeydew melon, peeled and cut into medium dice
1 serrano chile, chopped fine
1 rib celery, chopped fine
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
Leaves from 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves, chopped
Leaves from 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt
1 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Combine the cucumbers, green onions, melon, chile, celery, vinegar, herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt in a large bowl (the cucumbers will give off a lot of juice). Put the bowl in a large pot of ice water to chill for 30 minutes. In another bowl, combine the yogurt, a 2-count of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, the parsley, and refrigerate. To serve, spoon the soup into bowls.

This is not a soup.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

If you call a bowl of melon and cucumber with yogurt on top "soup," then maybe you'd deem this a soup. We blended it lightly... in a food processor (so it maintained some texture), and it was delicious. Maybe Tyler left out a step??Read more

Great Summer Soup
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I felt the soup was a little chunky so I put 1/3 in the blender and added it back in with the rest. I also garnished it with... diced honey dew and avocado with parsley. I usually do not go for a dish like this but the flavors were so nice and fresh tasting. People will ask for this recipe.Read more
