Chilled Melon Soup Recipe
A few summers back, I had a delicious cold soup at a restaurant. Just thinking about it, makes me hungry. I was surprised at how much I liked it because I was a little leery of trying it but it made a big hit with me. It was a cold melon soup. It was so refreshing, tasty and light. You wouldn’t want it in the dead of winter but it is perfect for this time of year.
This soup simple to make, pretty much everything is pureed in a blender or food processor. I make it in the blender because I think it comes out smoother there. The recipe calls for cantaloupe but honeydew is also delicious in this recipe. Once the soup is pureed and chilled, you can serve it with an optional garish of lemon peel and prosciutto!
Here’s the recipe, let us know how you like it!
