Hi Michael. Thank you so much for writing. You are so right. This is a really old post that I did for Mode Media and they went bankrupt. I am going to go back to my notes and try to find the recipes and redo this post. Please check back in a couple of days and you will see what was here. I am so sorry. I didn't realize this company wasn't in existence anymore.

I love chilled soup and the idea of a light dessert soup is intriguing. As for chilled watermelon soup, I'm a huge fan of spicy watermelon gazpacho.
