Sangria is traditionally made with robust red table wine; for this chilled dessert soup, use a light, fruity red, such as a Beaujolais or a Valpolicella.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups 2-inch watermelon chunks (about 2 pounds with rind), seeds and rind removed

  • ¼ cup light, fruity red wine

  • 1 tablespoon cranberry juice

  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 tablespoons honey

  • ¼ honeydew melon, rind and seeds removed and cut into ½-inch pieces (about 1 cup)

  • ¼ cantaloupe, rind and seeds removed and cut into ½-inch pieces (about 1 cup)

  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions

  1. Place 2 cups of watermelon chunks in a medium bowl. Add wine, cranberry juice, lime juice, sugar, and honey; let stand 15 minutes.

  2. Cut remaining watermelon chunks into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.

  3. Transfer watermelon-and-wine mixture to a food processor, and pulse until almost smooth, about 30 seconds. Return to bowl; add honeydew, cantaloupe, reserved watermelon, and mint leaves. Stir well, chill, and serve cold.
