Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium-sized, about 4 pounds) cantaloupe
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 5 fresh sprigs mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons salt

Cut the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Remove the rind and chop the cantaloupe flesh into cubes.
Add the cantaloupe cubes to a blender or food processor.
Add the plain Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, mint leaves, and salt to the blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth. If the soup is too thick, you can add up to 1/4 cup of water to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste the soup and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if necessary or brightness with additional lime juice.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl or pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and to serve it cold.
When ready to serve, give the soup a good stir and pour it into bowls or glasses.
Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color and added aroma.
