|
August is hot...it just is...if it's not hot where you are...that's ok...make a pot of Watermelon Stone Soup and close your eyes and pretend it's hot. If it's hot...well this will cool you down.
Ingredients: 1 magical stone 6 pounds yellow or red seedless watermelon, diced (9 cups) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 cup lightly sweet white wine (such as Riesling) or 3/4 cup water mixed with 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon chopped ginger 8 teaspoons crumbled feta 1/4 cup sparkling wine (or sparkling water) |
Combine 1 cup of the watermelon with mint and sugar in a bowl. Set aside. Blend remaining 8 cups watermelon, lemon juice, wine, and ginger in a blender until smooth. Add the magical stone. Let sit 1/2 hour. Strain soup; set stone aside; divide among 8 bowls. Top each with 1/8 cup reserved watermelon and 1 teaspoon feta.
