Try and guess what the "mystery" ingredient is in this gazpacho. It starts with the letter "w" and a lot of people eat it at summertime picnics. Can you guess?? It's watermelon! Do you have a bunch of it cut up in your fridge right now and you're wondering what to do with it? Make it into this soup! I'm calling this "farmer's market" gazpacho, because most (if not all) of the ingredients can be found there. This type of soup is traditionally served cold. It is really refreshing on a hot day :)
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups watermelon, cubed
2 cups tomatoes, chopped (seeds and membranes removed)
2 cups cucumbers, chopped (seeds and skin removed)
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup red pepper, chopped (seeds and membranes removed)
1 cup yellow squash, chopped (seeds and skin removed)
1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
In large bowl, put the watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, red pepper, yellow squash and corn. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper and garlic powder on top and with large spoon mix and combine thoroughly until the watermelon and all the veggies are coated. Put the mixture, one cup at a time into a blender and keep blending until it gets to the consistency that you want. Serve immediately or put into fridge for later. Serves four.
