Using Watermelon in a Way You Haven't Thought of.




LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
How about Watermelon Soup! It's a cool soup to do, and not just because its trendy!  Nina Elder, who's the Executive Food Editor for Everyday with Rachael Ray Magazine stopped by Tonia's Kitchen with her Chilled Watermelon Soup recipe. She starts with four cups of watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes and red wine vinegar. Mix together with a blender and place into a freezer until cold.  Then in a bowl, put more seeded watermelon that's chopped, along with cucumber and feta cheese.  Use that to top each bowl of soup, along with basil and mint. It's a great way to enjoy a classic summertime treat, especially on a hot day!
