ABOUT Melon and Watermelon Soup RECIPE

Who said that soup should be: 1.Hot 2.Spiced 3.Made with only vegetables/meat 4.Simmered with stock – vegetable.meat 5.Cooked till thick Thinking beyond the normal soup making,I opted for a soup with fruit.In the hot summers we crave cool recipes and cannot eat much of carbohydrates.For people like me,I am averse to anything hot.This soup was the successful implementation of merging simple summer fruits and juices into a medley so lovely that I could not have enough of this! I also made this recipe exclusively for adults using sweet wine for a Champagne party for one of my friends.As I did not attend the party I got rave reviews for the version and so am sharing the same here as well.
