Course: Recipes, Starter, SoupsGazpacho is one of my fave’s for lunch – even in this rainy, cold weather, a little cold soup at lunch time goes a long way!

2 limes
1 handful ice-cubes

Directions
- Boil the egg for about 8 minutes, then drain and peel under cold water.
Grill the corn on a hot griddle pan, turning regularly until it’s nicely charred. - Meanwhile, peel the watermelon, then roughly chop with the cucumber and tomatoes and place in a blender.
Rip up the green half of the spring onions and most of the coriander. Reserve a few leaves for garnish. Peel and add the garlic, then the peppers.
Finely grate the zest of one lime and squeeze in all the juice. Add the tblsp of olive oil. - Trim and finely slice the whites of the spring onions and place in a little bowl with the reserved coriander leaves.
