Ingredients
  • 6 cup roughly chopped seedless watermelon
  • 3 cup roughly chopped tomatoes
  • 1 shallot, chopped roughly
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
  1. Put 5 ½ cups of the watermelon, 2 ½ cups of the tomatoes, shallot, oil, vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, salt, and pepper into a blender and purée until smooth. Transfer the purée to a fine-meshed strainer set over a large bowl and strain the purée, pressing as much through as possible. Discard the solids. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
  2. Finely chop the remaining watermelon, tomatoes, and cilantro and toss together in a bowl. Pour the chilled soup into bowls or glasses and top with the watermelon-tomato mixture.
