If you have all the ingredients in your pantry you can make it in a jiffy. Just chop and blend. Keep it in refrigerator and serve chilled or add some ice cubes.

Instead of sugar I have used grapes and watermelon. Fruits made the soup delicious and healthy. And both are easily available in this season. I have used almonds to give a creamy texture.

Onion – 1 small chopped

Garlic – 1 clove chopped

Chopped tomato, cucumber, onion and cilantro for garnishing

Method

Taste the chopped cucumber. It shouldn’t be bitter.

Combine all the ingredients. Blend in a mixer grinder.

I have made it smooth but you can keep it little coarse if you like.

I have used vinegar, you can use lemon juice too if you don’t like vinegar.

Taste and adjust salt, pepper and vinegar or lemon juice if require. Drizzle olive oil. I didn’t.

Garnish with chopped cilantro, tomato, cucumber and lemon wedges.

Keep in refrigerator and serve chilled. Or you can add some ice cubes if you want to serve it immediately.

Serve with crisp toast.
