- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 1 cup cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 small cucumber
- 4 leaves (for garnish) fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew melons in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Add 10 fresh mint leaves, 2 tablespoons of agave nectar, and 1 cup of cold water to the blender.

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. If needed, blend in batches to avoid overfilling the blender.
Taste and adjust sweetness as needed by adding additional agave nectar if preferred.
Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to become fully chilled.
