Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe honeydew melon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon lime zest
- 4 sprigs fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
Cut the honeydew melon in half and remove the seeds with a spoon.
Using a sharp knife, remove the rind from the melon and cut the flesh into chunks.
In a blender, combine the melon chunks, fresh lime juice, honey, mint leaves, salt, and cold water.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If necessary, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure an even blend.
Taste the soup and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
Once blended smooth, chill the melon soup in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the soup to become fully chilled.
Before serving, stir in the lime zest.
Pour the chilled soup into bowls and garnish each with a fresh mint sprig.
Serve immediately and enjoy its cool, refreshing flavor.
