I have loved this for a long time. I also use lavender buds along with or in place of the mint.
I too left out the honey, doubled the watermelon used lime, added a pinch of salt and sour cream. Delicious!

My husband and I love this soup. Perfect on a hot summer day. It’s easy to make and delicious. Please follow the recipe and don’t skip the mint!
Very refreshing! Subbed 1 T lime juice for 1 T lemon juice – delicious.
Simple and tasty
Not what I expected. It’s really minty.
My family enjoyed this soup. The cucumber flavor comes through so don’t add any extra you may have cut up.
I’m glad I used seedless watermelon.
I made it twice! Everyone loved it and commented how light and refreshing it was. Said reminded them of “cruise soups”. Delicious
I would suggest straining the watermelon purée, and cutting it with seltzer or sparkling cider.
It was watermelon in the blender. Adding a little tequila, cointreau and a straw would have been better.
Simple, versatile, and scrumptious! Excellent basic recipe, and also excellent with the addition of plain yogurt and additional honey, and/or with more blended fruits. A favorite concoction of mine was this recipe, plus yogurt, banana, and frozen mango also blended in. Made a thicker soup, bordering on smoothie consistency. I drank it from a bowl made from one end of the watermelon, with a straw in it. Really fun and tasty!
I had watermelon soup on a cruise that I went on about 20 years ago and have been looking for a recipe ever since. This is it! I had a really big watermelon so I made a batch with the mint and another without. I liked them both, but my husband thought that the mint was a little too strong. Maybe he’d like it better reducing the amount of mint a bit.
Excellent. Refreshing and so easy to make. A great way to use up extra watermelon.
Total hit! I doubled the recipe and used the rest to make watermelon slushies. I didn’t use the mint in the second batch. Instead I puréed it a bit more and then froze it in ice cube trays. I puréed the frozen cubes with some Absolut Citron. Yum!
Pretty plain and nothing special. Decided to freeze the rest of mine with alcohol and make slush. Much better!
I made it and added a teaspoon of ginger and an 1/8 teaspoon of chipotle. So yummy with a little kick.
An amazingly easy, delicious, and refreshing soup. Definitely use a good quality honey. Also, I found that leaving some small pieces of watermelon unblended gave the soup a much better texture.
I work in a staff line at a school so I make a lot of soups especially from this app. Made this one today and it was a hit just like the other recipes.
The taste of this soup is very good but it is way too watery. It might have just been the particular watermelon I chose . Mine is more a drink, not as thick as a smoothy.
