onions and cook slowly, stirring, about 7 minutes. Add
the beets and continue to cook slowly, covered, until
most of their water has been released and they have

covered, for 15 minutes. When the soup is finished
cooking, strain and reserve the liquid. Transfer the
beets to a blender or food processor and add the
watermelon. Puree until very smooth. Return the puree
to the pot and add the reserved liquid. Chill the soup
well, about 4 hours before serving.
