Chilled Watermelon and Rosé Soup is effervescent, fruity, refreshing and the perfect slurp to stay cool this summer.Chilled Watermelon & Rose Soup {with goat cheese & pistachios}- short pin1AHelllllllo lovelies! How goes it? How was your weekend? I certainly hope it was spectacular and filled with alllll the good summer vibes!

Ours was pretty dandy. We grilled up a storm, I worked a little less than normal (<– wahoo), and we watched a few new movies from the comfort of our cozy upstairs theater room.

One of the movies we watched was Central Intelligence. OMG, it is such a cute movie!!!

I have a crush on Dwayne Johnson so I might be a wee-bit biased. I mean, his teeth though! Have you ever seen such a pretty smile? And don’t even get me started on the color of his skin. Swoon. Yeeeeah, I totally heart The Rock. (I even forgive him for that slightly lame wrestling nickname. But I’m overly thrilled he is now super profesh and going by his real name.) Chilled Watermelon & Rose Soup {with goat cheese & pistachios}-10Chilled Watermelon & Rose Soup {with goat cheese & pistachios}-24So, have I ever told you guys I refuse to go to the movie theater? For real. I haven’t been to one in 10 years. TEN! I.just.can’t.

There are too many dang people. I get beyond nervous I am going to catch the flu or some virus from all that air shared with strangers. Especially if there is coughing or sneezing going on. Eeeewwww.  A small part of me dies inside.

Contaminated air aside, the main reason theaters and I don’t mix is, I can’t sit still for that long uninterrupted. I need a pause button.

And at least five 10 minute intermissions. I mean, over 1 ½ hours of sitting immobile and no talking?! Sheesh. Not this girl.

As you can see, having our own theater room is a necessity of life.

We all have our quirks, and throwing a (perfectly reasonable) temper tantrum over public movie theaters is one of mine. Chilled Watermelon & Rose Soup {with goat cheese & pistachios}-63Chilled Watermelon & Rose Soup {with goat cheese & pistachios}-143Anyways, absolutely none of that rambling has anything to do with today’s recipe.

Other than the fact that I’d like to make this soup for Dwayne Johnson… and watch him slurp it through his perfectly white, flawlessly straight teeth. Did it just get weird up in here? I digress.

Chilled Rosé and Watermelon Soup {with Goat Cheese, Pistachios & Raspberries}

If soups in the summer aren’t your jam, you have been doing it all wrong friends. Chilled, refreshing soups during the heat of summer are where it is at… especially if you throw in a little booze!

And this soup is totally giving off all the scrumptious summer vibes.

Cool, juicy watermelon; effervescent, light rosé; sweet honey, fresh mint and a hint of mellow jalapeno spice. Quintessential summertime eats going on here, my peeps.

But, since I am a huge fan of garnishes I decided this soup deserved a little sprucing. So, I finished these fizzy bowls of yum off with a touch of creamy, decadent, crumbled goat cheese; salty, crunchy pistachios and pops of fresh, ripe raspberries.

Light, refreshing slurp-tasticness that your oh-my-gawd-it’s-SO-hot-give-me-A-C-NOW self will crave.

On top of all the noms, this soup is also stupid easy to prepare. Chop some watermelon, throw everything into the food processor and puree. Done and done.

Easy, peasy, summer soup slurping for the win!Chilled Watermelon & Rose Soup {with goat cheese & pistachios}-43Chilled Watermelon & Rose Soup {with goat cheese & pistachios}-111The Notes:

  1. I used sweet rosé in my soup, but feel free to use a brut rosé if you prefer a drier bubbly.
  2. If you have time, I recommend chilling your soup bowls for at least 30 minutes before serving. There is something extra special about eating cold soup from a cold bowl. It just makes it that much more refreshing.
  3. The soup will keep, covered and stored in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days. However, the soup is best 15-20 minutes after it is pureed. 15 minutes in the refrigerator allows the flavors to marry a bit, but the soup still retains its effervescence.

Until Thursday friends, cheers – to champagne wishes and chilled soup dreams.

    Lol – Craig and I saw Central Intelligence a few weeks ago and we’ve been sending each other the emoji series of a unicorn head, assault weapon, and donuts 😉 So I’m loving this chilled watermelon soup – it’s been warm the past few days here, and turning on the oven is the last thing I want to do! Oh and who doesn’t love a little rose with their meal?! Perfectly refreshing!

    This looks so refreshing and delicious, Cheyanne. We’re about to get hit with really high temps – supposed to be 103 degrees today – so this really appeals to me. Love watermelon – and I’ve never tried it in soup form! Hope you have a cool weekend!

    Rose and watermelon?! Um, yes please!! Totally down with a chilled soup on a hot summer day. Sounds so tasty and refreshing. And while I watch plenty of movies all cozy on my couch, I still love to catch a flick in a dark movie theater. Although if I’m booking a sitter, I’ll always choose a nice meal out, instead of a movie. I’ll have to make this soup for a movie night soon!

    We rarely go to movie theatres these days either – it is so much fun to watch movies at home with good food & a glass of wine … Just watched the trailer of Central Intelligence – looks like a fun movie! Summer finally arrived here in London (it is insanely hot!) so this soup might be just the answer 🙂

    I hate movie theaters too! I can’t remember the last time I went to a movie. Mostly I just get super annoyed at the other patrons who are noisy or talk during the movie – movie talkers! Gah! So it is better for my general well being to stay home and make my own popcorn. This is the second time I have read about Central Intelligence, so I might have to check it out. I am so behind the times when it comes to movies these days. And wowsa Cheyanne! This soup is amazing! I am a recent rose lover, so I am all over this soup! It sounds sooo refreshing. Pinning!

    I’ve not been to a theatre in so many years…. I don’t even remember the last time I went! Ohhh… three years ago – A Walk In The Woods.. that was it. But before then it was like 5. I don’t care for them either. First, you get ripped off with the popcorn and I ALWAYS get stuck in front of someone who is crunching or kicking my seat…. 😮 !! And there is nothing better than watching a movie in your jammies in the comfort of your own home. I’m with ya!! Ohhh I love a good, chilled soup for summer, Chey and the flavors you’ve included here are delicious! xo

    So – the last time I went to a movie theatre – I was sitting next to someone who was hacking up a storm and my daughter was sitting next to someone who sniffled like her nose was running away from her – so I totally understand why a home movie theatre is a necessity of life!

    And speaking of life’s necessities, I’ve been going through way too many watermelons – always in some sort of sweet juice/treat – but GAH – Cheyanne, you knocked my socks off with this recipe! Never have I ever sampled so many flavors together! I so LOVE how you paired sweet watermelon and honey with mint, jalapeno spice, salty goat cheese, and salty, crunchy pistachios! And those raspberries sure do take the cake – or should I say take the soup!

    Hope you have a wonderful day and an even more wonderful weekend!

    Dwayne Johnson? This name didn’t sound familiar so I googled it. Turned out I know this guy – I’m just horrible at remembering all these names:) And honestly, I didn’t’t care much – all this time while reading (Correction: trying to read) the post, I was basically thinking about this luscious soup and how lucky (And talented!) you are to having made and (Hopefully) eaten this #jealous! Even though my summer food list is quite packed, I’ve got to make this. Because it’s watermelon, goat cheese, pistachios, and so on (Read: Rose, Rose, and that’s enough). Amazing idea, Chey!

ALSO: I haven’t been to the movie theater for probably 10 years, too, because why go to the movies with their uncomfortable seats and lack of wine when I could stay home. Hehehe. LOVE the looks of this soup, totally thought it was a smoothie bowl at first! Looks delish!

    Dear Chey – What a great chilled soup. This is a refreshing slurp for sure and I have an absolute ton of mint overtaking my garden. Great idea using the Rosé! I’m always wanting movie recommendations and with four kids we are pretty much relegated to at home movies. It’s more about being able to buy groceries though than the germs.. Ha ha. It is crazy expensive for a family of six to go to a movie, and then the kids suddenly need popcorn. Whaattt??? We have a ton of popcorn on the shelf at home I would be willing to pop ANYTIME, and no one is interested until they suddenly smell it at the theater. The power of suggestion. That is why we stay home. Now if I only had a theater room… a girl can dream. I will def. be watching Central Intelligence, and checking out Dwayne’s pearly whites. Thanks for the tip. (!) Have an awesome week my friend. XOXO

I don’t do movie theaters either. I think it’s been at least 10 years for me or maybe longer – it was March of the Penguins if that tells you anything. I’m with you on the crowds and the cooties.

    You and me both girl being a huge fan of garnishes! All about that! Hubby and I saw Central Intelligence too and what a pleasant surprise, wasn’t it? So much more funny than I even expected. Really enjoyed it. Despite going to a theatre to watch (which we don’t often do), I would must rather watch in the comfort of home like you guys and chill in my comfy clothes with much better food! Happy you had a chill weekend 🙂 Everyone needs those every now and again, that’s for sure 🙂
    Now, this soup! How perfect is this for Summer? Seriously. Plus, you have the wine all included so it’s, like, a drink and soup all in the one! Plus, it just looks so darn pretty. And, in my opinion, those awesome garnishes are definitely not optional. Pinning, of course. This one needs to happen real soon! Cheers friend! xo

    I always think of gaspacho when I think of cold soup, but I need to try a watermelon version as that sounds amazing.

    Boozy soup? You are a girl after my own heart! This sounds like a summertime must 🙂
    That’s pretty funny about movie theaters.. we don’t go much these days but I do enjoy it for the big screen experience. Sounds like you have that issue totally solved with a theater room — so fun! Have a great week friend!

    I’m going to be honest: when I read the title of this post I was a bit confused. Wine in soup?! That’s a new concept to me! I think it could work though, I mean I trust you completely when it comes to taste… Haha! And I’m going to have to watch that movie. I’m all about the cute movies. And my weekend was pretty nice: we had a small (and very very late) housewarming on Friday so naturally I needed all of Saturday to feel a bit like myself again (I insisted on making all the bites myself, of course) and then on Sunday we did some chores and relaxing in the sun. Your weekend sounds relaxing, too!

    Have a great week lady, can’t wait to see what other new flavour combo’s you’ll teach me!!

    Woahhhhh Cheyanne! Those flavour combos sound like utter heaven! I love the idea of chilled watermelon, such a change from simply cutting up a watermelon and eating it straight up! Delicious!
