Sing a Song About Watermelon Gazpacho

I love watermelon so much I don’t know what to do with myself. After some soul searching, I decided to write a song. Any similarities to Kermit the Frog’s Rainbow Connection are entirely coincidental.

Why aren’t there more songs, all about watermelons.
Don’t you see what’s insiiiiiiiiide
Redness and sweetness, and juicy deliciousness
And watermelons have nothing to hiiiiiide

When combined with dill, tomatoes, and cucumbers
It makes a fabulous summer soup.

Someday you’ll join me, the watermelon worshipers
The children, the puppies, and meeee
All of us under its spell
you know that it’s probably seeeeeeedless

Also, when you eat a whole watermelon, you can use the remaining shell as a bowl, a boat, or a hat. Just a friendly tip from Soupergirl!

Basil Spiked Zucchini Tomato Soup

Ladies beware. Someone at local soup shops is spiking women’s soup with basil! When I say beware, I mean… thank goodness!! Last week, I was at a local soup bar, quietly eating my zucchini tomato soup, which was lovely. I put down my soup for a minute to tie my shoe. I heard a strange whirring sound at the bar, but figured it was someone’s cell phone. I got up, took another spoonful, and thought, “why is my soup suddenly more delicious than before?” Then I saw out of the corner of my eye, a sneaky little man spiking another woman’s soup! He dropped in the basil, whipped out his mini-immersion blender, pureed the soup, and sneaked away. I ran over to her just as she was about to take another spoonful. “Stop!! Beware!!” I said. “Your soup tastes even MORE like summer in a bowl! Basil! Basil!!” She replied, “Oh thank goodness you told me! And thank goodness for basil!” Amen to that!!

“Cream” of Broccoli Soup

A few weeks ago I claimed that our “cream” of asparagus soup was better than the one served at Le Upscale Restaurant De Francois Fancy-frois. Well, the chef down there, Fredrico Saltino de Moustachio got pretty upset and challenged us to an old fashioned soup-off. This time – cream (or “cream”) of broccoli soup. He made the traditional version, and we made ours using our secret weapon – cashew cream. We blindfolded him and gave him both soups. He tasted both and shouted, “AHA! You see, mes amies?? Le soup I have prepared – it is so very rich and full of le flavor. So le creamy! So le lovely. Also, you can eat it avec le heat or without. You and your silly le cashew cream are nothing!” Well, Fredrico unwittingly had chosen OUR soup as the better soup. Whoops! When informed of his mistake, he shouted, “MON DIEU,” tore off his chef jacket, ran out the door and hasn’t been seen or heard from since. Rumor is out that he moved to Fiji where he teaches yoga, tends to his herb garden, and goes by the name Brother Cashew Cream. Overreact much, Fredrico?
