Chilled Melon Soup with Strawberries
On a scorching summer day there is nothing better than a properly chilled melon soup. Sweet melon and ripe strawberries meet white wine and a hint of lemon zest. It takes only a moment to put together, then all it needs is time to chill. Serve it in bowls, or turn it into a refreshing sparkling cocktail.
