I'm only gonna use about half of it for the watermelon soup, and then I'm going to use the other half to make watermelon juice.
00:48
So I'm just going to cut this watermelon and then cut it into cubes.
00:53
This watermelon actually has some seeds in it.
00:57
I haven't found seedless watermelon here in Lisbon yet.
01:07
I'll be picking out the seeds as I chop along.
01:48
OK, to the bowl of cubed watermelon, I'm going to add the watermelon juice.
01:55
And that was about the third of the watermelon that I put into the blender.
02:03
Going to add about a tablespoon of lime juice.
02:10
Then to make it spicy, I'm going to be using jalapeno.
02:13
I don't have a fresh jalapeno, so I'm going to just use the dried jalapeno that I have.
02:19
And I'm using about 1/4 of a teaspoon.
02:22
You can use more or less depending on how spicy you like things, and then I'm going to add a dash of pepper.
02:30
And then to this I'm also going to add some crunch, so I'm going to use cucumber and radishes today.
02:38
You could also use jicama.
02:41
So I'm just going to thinly slice this cucumber.
02:47
I mean, sorry, this radish.
02:51
And then chop it into quarters.
02:56
And add it to my bowl.
03:00
And the same thing for this cucumber.
03:04
I'm only going to use about half.
03:08
And I'm going to save the peels cause I'll make either cucumber juice or some sort of facial mask with honey and cucumber.
03:35
Again, I'm just going to dice this.
04:05
Now that everything is in the bowl, I'm just going to give it a good stir to mix everything up.
04:22
And this is so nice to have on a hot summer's day.
04:26
I've been craving this lately.
04:28
So I have to go and get the watermelon so I could make it here today.
04:36
OK, so I'm going to put it, excuse me, I'm going to put it in the refrigerator to set for a couple of hours so that all of the juices and flavors can meld together.
04:47
And it's so delicious on a hot summer's day.
04:50
