Ingredients




* For the soup:
210 grams sheep's Greek yoghurt: (I can't tolerate normal cow's Greek yoghurt!) otherwise use normal Greek 
1 large cucumber: cleaned, tops & ends removed, skin kept on& seeds removed, cut i
1 small clove of garlic, peeled & diced finely
1/2 teaspoon Maldon sea salt flakes:
150 grams of peeled & deseeded Cavaillon melon, cut into chunks
* For the mint& radishes topping:
4 longer pink& white radishes, cleaned & cut into thinner rings
2 teaspoons of white wine vinegar
3 grams of fresh & cleaned mint leaves, cut finely
freshly grinded black pepper
a bit of Maldon sea salt flakes, grinded

Preparation

1 Take your blender & place the cucumber pieces, the garlic pieces, the sheep's yoghurt & the sea salt in it. Blitz a few times until completely smooth. Pour it all into a plastic container with fitting lid. 2 Place the melon chunks into the blender. Blitz until completely smooth. Pour this into the cucumber yoghurt mix. Mix with a spoon. Taste. It tastes yum! Place into the fridge for about 2 to 3 hours. 3 Now, about 20 minutes before eating the cold soup, make the mint & radish topping. Take a jam pot with fitting lid. Add the chopped radishes & add the chopped mint. Now, add 2 teaspoons of white wine vinegar. Add a few grinds of black pepper & some Maldon sea salt. 4 Screw the lid one & shake the jam pot a few times up & down. Unscrew the lid &taste. It has to taste fab! 5 Now, serve the soup in soup bowls & laddle a bit of the radishes & mint topping in the center of the soup. Savour it right away & enjoy it!
