Chilled Cucumber Melon Soup

¼ – ½ fresh jalapeño pepper (start with a little, add more to taste)

scallions, chopped

1-2 limes, juiced (start with one, add more to taste)

salt

Put all ingredients in a blender.  Blend until smooth.

Adjust to taste, adding more lime or jalapeño.

Wow!  This went together so quick. I served it with grilled shrimp for a simple lunch with my girls group. A total hit!  Thanks so much for the inspiration. ?

Wow!  Such lovely and refreshing  soup!  It's going to be on my list of summer favs!

I really enjoyed this, beautiful fresh flavors, but I got a little overzealous with the jalapeño and started with 1/2 so it was a strong bite for most of the people in my house. Sooo I decided to thicken it with more yogurt and use it as a pasta salad dressing that I also put your ras el Hanout chicken in. Delicious! Thank you so much for your food excellence.

Delicious and refreshing! Thanks for sharing

Great recipe! Cool refreshing and love the heat! I added a bit more cucumber and herbs.

This was a fantastic recipe for using up a somewhat under-ripe melon and tastes very gourmet! Because the melon I had wasn't too sweet I subbed melon for the cucumber, adding a small cucumber only to cut down on the spiciness when I put in a little too much jalapeno, oops. 

I've been recommending your site to others. It's the best recipe site I have come across by far! The recipes are very tasty and I love how nourishing they are (I have only made the vegetarian ones). I'm not missing eating out at all thanks to this site. I may never go back to eating out again! I feel a bit badly that you make all this content available for free. You might consider putting up a contribution link on your site since others like me will never order from the affiliate links from evil Amazon.

If there's one thing I could change about your site, it would be if you could get someone to copyedit it. I know the perfect is the enemy of the good, but I do find that my enjoyment of the recipes is marred by numerous English errors in them.

I absolutely loved this recipe!!  Refreshing, complex flavor combination, and delicious.  I had cooked a lot with cilantro lately and not with mint, so I omitted the cilantro and added some extra mint to give myself a break from cilantro.

The best Spanish salmorejo recipe I've ever tried. Straight from my mother-in-law's cookbook to your own!

Salmorejo Recipe

Medium Tomatoes (the quality of the tomatoes

Medium Baguette

Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Clove of Garlic (not too big)

Sherry

Salt

Hard Boiled Eggs

Serrano

Scald the tomatoes: Put a large pot of salted water on the stove and bring to a boil. Cut a small cross in the bottom of each tomato. When the water is boiling add the tomatoes for 30-60 seconds. Remove immediately and place in a cold water bath (a bowl filled with ice and cold water). The skin will peel right off of the tomatoes.

First Blend: Cut out the cores of the tomatoes and add all the rest to your blender. Blend at high-speed for about 30 seconds until the tomatoes are broken down.

Add bread: Take all of the "guts" out of your baguette and add them to the blended tomatoes. The baguette should have given about 2-3 cups of guts and you can experiment with how much you add, as this is how you change the texture. I use about 2 cups of the bread guts. Let the bread soak in the tomato juice for about 5 minutes.

Second Blend: Add the splash of vinegar, salt, and garlic and blend until the soup is an even texture and the bread is completely broken down.

Add Oil: If your blender has it, open the small hole in the top. Slowly add the olive oil as you are blending at a moderate speed. If it doesn't have the hole, stop and go adding little by little.

Add Egg and Adjust: Add 1 hardboiled egg and blend until incorporated. Taste and adjust levels of salt, vinegar, garlic, and bread.

Serve in small bowls with diced hardboiled egg and sliced ham as condiments. Serve cold! Enjoy!
