Sure, a watermelon soup is super refreshing, but when it’s garnished, it’s super beautiful too. To top off your soup like I did, slice a store-bought pound cake into about 1-inch slices. Use a small deep cookie cutter to cut a disc. Place it on top of the soup (because you have chunks of watermelon, it’ll have something to rest on). Place a quenelle of lemon sorbet on top of the pound cake and garnish with a couple pieces chopped mint leaves.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 4 cups watermelon, divided

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
