Recipe: Chilled Melon Soup

Soups
ADVERTISEMENT
Chilled Melon Soup
From: the American Institute for Cancer Research
Makes four 1-cup servings

A chilled fruit soup is refreshing in hot weather. It will also ease the appetite and prevent overeating the higher-calorie main course.

1 large cantaloupe (or other melon or fruit) cut into small cubes (4-6 cups)
2 Tbsp. honey, or to taste
Juice of 3 limes, or to taste
Pinch of cardamon
Sliced fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup whole fresh mint leaves

Fill a wide, shallow container with cantaloupe and place in microwave. Cook at 50 percent power for 2 minutes, or just until melon softens slightly. Transfer cantaloupe to a blender or food processor. Add honey, lime juice and cardamon, and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until cold.

Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with more honey, cardamon and/or lime juice. Garnish with strawberry slices and mint leaves.
