WATERMELON GAZPACHO



Watermelon Gazpacho image

Tomato and watermelon are an unexpected match, their respective acidity and sweetness mingling to great effect. This soup, adapted from Anya von Bremzen's book "The New Spanish Table," integrates the melon into a bare-bones gazpacho, one of the sovereigns of the high summer table. There are so few ingredients here that the ones you use will really stand out, so try to get the freshest, juiciest tomatoes and sweetest watermelon you can. The chopped celery brings the flavor combination together, so don't leave it out.

WATERMELON GAZPACHO



Watermelon Gazpacho image

Soup is something you can have any time of year, but the same can't be said for good watermelon, asparagus or tomatoes, so make the most of them. Gazpacho-type soups can be made at the last moment; they should feel hearty and thick. If you'd like, you can purée, chill and serve this soup as a beverage. Bear in mind that everything tends to taste less salty when it's cold, so you may actually want to oversalt savory soups. Or just wait until the last minute and salt to taste.
