1 green onion
1 celery stalk
1/2 green bell pepper

Coarsely chop watermelon. It should measure about 4 cups (1 L). Place in a food processor. Slice green onion and celery. Chop green pepper. Add to processor with salt, pepper and juice. Pulse just until small chunks remain.
Pour into a large bowl or plastic container. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Ladle into bowls or glasses. Add a spoonful of finely chopped watermelon to each. Sprinkle with chives. Soup tastes best same day it's made, but will keep well, refrigerated, at least 8 hours.
