Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 3 pounds) Cantaloupe
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cubes Ice cubes
- 2 teaspoons Chopped fresh mint (for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Cut away the rind and chop the cantaloupe flesh into large chunks.
In a blender, combine cantaloupe chunks, orange juice, Greek yogurt, honey, fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, and salt.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If needed, stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender.
Add ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the mixture is well-chilled and slightly thickened.
Taste the soup and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired, blending again briefly to combine.
Refrigerate the soup for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld (optional).
Pour the chilled soup into bowls or glasses and garnish with chopped fresh mint. Serve immediately.
