Cream Of Watermelon Soup

I used to work in a brunch restaurant and when this soup was served, it always sold out very quickly. It is light and refreshing and perfect at a baby or bridal shower or even a ladies' luncheon. The restaurant owner shared the recipe with me, but i lost it without ever having made it. After much experimentation, i finally came up with a version that i liked and have been making it now for several years when fresh watermelon is in season. it isn't quite the same, but i still liked it enough to share. I like to serve with this chicken salad sandwiches. Cook time is for chilling overnight. Makes one blender full of soup.

Steps

Puree watermelon chunks in blender until smooth.
Add vanilla , sugar , and using an ordinary flatware soup spoon , add 3 dollops of sour cream , blending well.
Taste and add a little more sugar if needed- if you added too much sour cream , you may need a little more watermelon.
Chill overnight and serve garnished with a couple of mint leaves atop each bowl.

Ingredients

watermelon, vanilla, granulated sugar, plain yogurt, fresh mint leaves
