This soup is very easy to make, has a wonderful flavour and is perfect on a hot summer's day.

500 gm strawberries
500 gm water melon, peeled and de-seeded
25 gm caster sugar
Fresh mint cut into julienne (fine) strips

Method

In a blender, blend the strawberries, watermelon and sugar until the mixture is smooth. The consistency should be like pouring cream. You may need to add a little water.
