Chilled Cucumber and Watermelon Soup With Crabmeat
If you have a special celebration upcoming, make sure you save this one. It is purely delightful and truly special. Read on.
- 2 cucumbers, peeled and seeded
- pinch of salt
- 2 cups watermelon, peeled and cubed
- 2 slices cantaloupe, sliced thin and diced
- 1/2 avocado, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup watermelon, diced and reserved
- 1/2 cup crabmeat (from 8 crab legs or Costco container of crab meat)
- 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 tsp. lime juice
To serve this soup, chill 4 soup bowls.
This is a very important step as it really does enhance the flavours of the soup.
Use a juicer and juice the cucumbers. Strain and put in a container and refrigerate. Wash the juicer and now put in the watermelon cubes and juice. Strain into a container and place in the refrigerator. Check these two after a while and remove any ‘floaties’ that may appear if missed when strained. Sprinkle the salt over the two waters and refrigerate.
To serve:
Add the avocado and cantaloupe into the diced watermelon and divide equally in the 4 bowls. In a bowl, mix together the waters (cucumber and watermelon), add the lime juice and taste. You may need to add more lime juice or perhaps a touch more salt. (Your call).
Now divide the crab meat and place in the center of the bowl. Carefully pour the mixed waters in. Top with the chopped dill.
Congratulations!
