Cucumber Mint Soup with Melon Balls
4.6(936 ratings)On the hottest days of summer, this soup is almost like drinking shade. Cucumber and a little avocado make a creamy, light base, while fresh mint and lime keep it bright. The surprise is a handful of pale green galia melon balls floating on top, adding juicy sweetness against the savory soup. Serve it in dark bowls to show off the soft green color.
