Cold Melon Soup with Mint
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Sugar melons contain immune-strengthening vitamin C and, in larger quantities, vitamin A, which is particularly important for good vision and for beautiful and healthy looking skin.
If a warm summer day is approaching, you can plan a cooling meal in advance and prepare this soup the day before and chill it overnight. This way it is guaranteed to be sufficiently refreshing the next day.
