Ahh! Two treasures of summer – watermelon and basil – in one refreshing, super-easy soup. And so healthy. Many soups are full of heart-damaging saturated fat and sodium. For example, a bowl of Sweet Corn Soup at Chili’s Restaurant has 20 grams of saturated fat (the equivalent of two Big Macs) and 960 milligrams of sodium (more than half what we should have for the entire day). Our Tomato, Watermelon, and Basil Soup has zero fat and a mere 15 milligrams of sodium.

- 1 cup canned low-sodium plum tomatoes
- ¼ cup low-sodium tomato puree
- 1 cup chopped watermelon (seedless)
- ½ teaspoon chopped garlic
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon orange zest *
- 1 tablespoon basil, chiffonade (cut into thin strips)
- If desired garnish with watermelon balls and sprigs of fresh basil
* Using a grater or microplane, shave off the peel of an orange to make ½ teaspoon of shavings. The shavings are your zest, which add strong, wonderfully citrus flavor to foods. Use only the colored part of the peel, not the bitter white pith beneath.
