Method

  • step 1

    Place all of the ingredients, except the yogurt and ice, in a liquidiser or blender. Don’t overfill your machine – you may need to do this in two batches. Whizz everything for a couple of minutes until smooth and speckled with the watercress.

  • step 2

    Season if you want to, then serve straight away or chill until needed. The soup will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a 2 days (give it a good stir before serving) or can be frozen for up to 1 month. Serve the soup drizzled with yogurt and an ice cube or two to make it even more refreshing.
