Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Pass the chopped tomatoes and 500 g of watermelon flesh through a sieve into a bowl. Season to taste with salt and hot pepper, or cayenne pepper, or Tabasco sauce. Chill the soup.
Step 2
To prepare basil oil, separate most of the leaves from the stems (reserve a few leaves for serving) and place them in a blender along with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Allow the oil to steep, then strain it through a sieve.
Step 3
Blanch the cherry tomatoes in boiling water for a few seconds. Remove them from the hot water and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Once the tomatoes have cooled slightly, peel off their skins.
