Way-Too-Cool Chilled Watermelon and Cucumber Soup
I first tasted this cool, refreshing, sweet and spicy summery soup when it was served to me at a soup cooking contest by 13-year-old Emma Scielzo of Chevy Chase, Maryland, who explained, “I like to create healthy recipes that kids can make and enjoy.” It may seem like a very strange combination to add croutons to a light and fruity soup but if you add them at the very last minute, it works amazingly well to give just the right crunch. Alternatively, you might want to top it with toasted pistachios or pumpkin seeds.
