I peel my toms and used lots more. Subbed jalapeno for poblano and cilantro for dill. Added celery, green pepper, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Wrote about it on my blog and got some cool pictures. Very refreshing dish and pretty stress free. Season to taste is very important though. Added a little honey a couple times I've made it as well.

This is a delicious and refreshing summer soup. I am not one for things that are too spicy so I substituted the serrano for jalopeno which I seeded. I also used dried dill vs fresh dill (because it's what I had on hand. I included chopped mint leaves (about 5 and added mint as garnish with the watermelon, and I skipped the feta all together. Finally, I used 4 roma tomatoes, seeded, vs 1 large tomato. You could really taste all of the flavors, the watermelon, cucumber, jalopeno, tomato, it was great and I will be making this one again!

This was surprisingly refreshing and delicious. Depending on the heat of your serrano, this could be a little too spicy for some folks, but it was just right to me. Adding the chopped watermelon as well as having some pureed is key. And, of course, an excellent watermelon helps, too! I'll definitely be making this again - and again. Thanks, Tyler!
