Chilled Watermelon/Lime Soup

Chilled Watermelon/Lime Soup Topped with Basil -- Seriously Soupy

Who doesn't love watermelon in the summer? This tasty/crunchy fruit is not only refreshing but it is packed with heaping dose of the good stuff our bodies needs (vitamin C, vitamin A, lycopene, etc) --  believed to protect us from inflammation, colon cancer, arthritis, etc. Basically, it's a perfect fruit (at least in my eyes), which is why it was time to mix up the taste a bit and turn it into a soup. I decided to make it a salted watermelon soup with fresh basil, lemons and lime and water. Simple enough and it only took 10 minutes to prep for a new take on the beloved summer treat. Enjoy!
