Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) cantaloupe
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) honeydew melon
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup water
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew melon in half and scoop out the seeds. Remove the rinds and chop the melon flesh into rough chunks.
In a blender or food processor, puree the cantaloupe and honeydew chunks in batches with the water until smooth.
Pour the pureed melon mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the lime juice, grated ginger, honey, diced jalapeño, chopped mint leaves, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the soup for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the soup a quick stir and taste for seasoning, adjusting the honey or salt if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls or glasses, garnish with additional mint leaves, and serve immediately.
