A refreshing summer cold soup made with sweet muskmelon and zesty lemon juice, without salting the cucumber, delivering a bold, savory punch.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always remove muskmelon seeds completely, as they can cloud the broth. Use the skin when slicing.
  • For a cleaner, more flavorful broth, crush and mince garlic by hand rather than using pre-minced store-bought garlic.
  • Plum syrup and lemon juice are key ingredients that bring the signature tanginess and savory sweetness to the cold soup.
  • Do not add ice directly into the entire batch of broth, as it will dilute the flavor. Instead, place ice in each serving bowl before pouring in the soup.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing broth to revive their appetite during hot summer days.
  • People who want to enjoy a unique twist on traditional cucumber cold soup by adding sweet, crunchy seasonal fruit.
  • Anyone looking to quickly make cold soup without the hassle of salting cucumbers.
