I love to serve it in small cups, with a sprig of mint on top, making it feel just a touch fancy. The best part? You can prep it in about 15 minutes and let it chill while you catch up with friends.

Honestly, this soup is perfect on a hot day, and it's just so easy to mix together that I find myself making it more often than I probably should. If you want something that impresses without much fuss, this is it.

Honestly, it was a hit, and I’ll definitely be making it again for our next barbecue. Plus, it's so easy to throw together, which is always a bonus.
