CHILLED WATERMELON SOUP

Chilled Watermelon Soup image

This simple, refreshing gazpacho-like chilled soup depends on the sweetness of the watermelon, tempered by the addition of olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and salt, to create the perfect balance of flavors. A little spiciness in the form of cayenne or crushed red pepper is welcome, too, as is an extra squeeze of lime juice at the table.

From blue-kitchen.com

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large stockpot over medium flame. Add the onion and chopped cucumber and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and softened, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to brown the onion—reduce heat, if needed.
Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender. Let cool slightly, then blend until smooth in a blender or food processor (you may need to do it in two batches—our blender handled it in one, though).
In a medium bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, lightly beat egg yolks and whisk in cream to just combine. Set aside.
Wipe out the stockpot with a paper towel, then melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in it over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until lightly browned into a blond roux, 3 to 5 minutes. Return blended soup to pot and cook, whisking constantly, until soup is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
