Best Cool Cantaloupe Soup With Basil Cream Recipes

CANTALOUPE SOUP

Steps:

• Place the cantaloupes on a flat surface and split them in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh in small increments. The goal is to tightly pack 3 cups of cantaloupe flesh.
• Place the cantaloupe in the blender and add the lemon juice and cider. Puree until smooth and taste for seasoning. Add the sugar, if needed. Use the water if more liquid is needed. Pour the soup into a medium bowl. Make an ice bath to chill the soup by combining some ice cubes and cold water in the bottom of a larger bowl. Put the soup in the ice bath and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Season the cucumber lightly with salt and pepper. When ready to serve, pour the soup into the chilled bowls and add some of the cucumber to each.

CHILLED CANTALOUPE SOUP

Steps:

• Set aside about 2 cups of the melon chunks and place the rest in a food processor or blender. Process until smoothly pureed, then add the juices, nectar, and spices. Process again until thoroughly blended. Transfer the mixture to a serving container.
• Cut the reserved melon chunks into 1/2-inch dice and stir them into the soup. Cover and chill for an hour or so before serving. Garnish each serving with some berries and 2 or 3 mint leaves, if desired.
