Chilled Watermelon Gazpacho Soup is a sweet and savory bowl of healthy and nutritious deliciousness that you can have on your table in less than 20 minutes.
Peel the cucumber. (If you are using an English or hothouse cucumber, you do not need to peel it.)
Seed the cucumber by cutting it in half lengthwise and scooping out the seeds and gelatinous pulp with a spoon. Chop.
Remove the core of the tomato by inserting a knife at an angle around the stem-end and removing the core. Chop.
Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth.
Cover and refrigerate until chilled or ready to serve.
To serve, spoon the gazpacho into bowls and garnish with cut up cucumber and basil if desired.
