- Ingredients
- 2 slices white bread
- 1 ⅓ cups Watermelon (diced)
- 3 fully ripe Beefsteak tomato (peeled, deseeded and diced)
- 1 Cucumber (peeled, deseeded and diced)
- 1 red pepper (diced)

- 1 tsp butter
- 1 handful Chives (with flowers, chopped)
Preparation steps
1.
Remove the crusts from one slice of bread and soften in a little water.
2.
In a food processor, blend the watermelon, tomatoes, cucumber, and red pepper to a purée. Squeeze the excess water out of the white bread and blend into the vegetable purée together with the onion and garlic. Add around 9 ounces of cold water until the desired consistency is achieved.

4.
Spoon or pour the chilled soup into glasses and garnish with the croutons and the chives, including flowers. If desired, arrange in a decorative melon half with ice cubes.
