Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe cantaloupe, halved and seeded
- 1 ripe honeydew, halved and seeded
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Carefully cut the ripe cantaloupe and honeydew in half, removing all seeds with a spoon, ensuring the flesh is clean and smooth.
- Using a sharp spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh from both melons, transferring the chunks into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Add fresh lime juice and honey to the melon chunks, which will enhance the natural sweetness and provide a bright, balanced flavor profile.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and silky, with no visible chunks remaining, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed, or a touch more lime juice for brightness.
- Strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure an ultra-smooth, elegant texture, pressing gently with a spatula to extract all liquid.
- Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and achieve a refreshing temperature.
- Before serving, give the soup a quick stir and pour into chilled bowls or glasses.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, allowing them to float delicately on top of the soup for an aromatic finishing touch.
