Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium cantaloupe
- 1 small honeydew melon
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 6 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew melons in half and scoop out the seeds. Using a melon baller or a knife, scoop or cut the flesh into small chunks.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into small chunks.
In a blender, combine the cantaloupe, honeydew melon, cucumber chunks, lime juice, fresh mint leaves, low-fat yogurt, honey, and salt.
Add the water and blend on high speed until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water to achieve desired consistency.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and the soup is chilled.
Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness by adding more honey or salt if needed.
Pour the soup into a large serving bowl or individual bowls.
Refrigerate the soup for at least 1 hour to let it chill thoroughly and allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with additional mint leaves before serving, if desired. Serve cold.
