Notes
Tips For Making This Melon Gazpacho Soup;
- You really need a powerful food processor for this or you can use a blender. The melon shouldn't be grainy or have a pulp texture, keep blending until it's smooth and thick.
- You can blitz the melon soup in advance and store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
- Add a pinch of salt and a good squeeze of lemon juice then taste to see if it needs more. It should be zingy and have a good balance of sweet and savoury.
- I really like the taste of creme fraiche in this but you could also use yogurt and possibly sour cream.
