Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cantaloupe, peeled and cubed
1 cucumber, peeled and cubed
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 ¼ cups prosciutto, thinly sliced
¼ bunch fresh basil, picked
freshly cracked pepper, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. On a parchment lined baking sheet, place your prosciutto slices in a single layer. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until the prosciutto crisps, then remove and set aside.
  • In a blender, combine the cantaloupe, cucumber, bell pepper, salt, vinegar, and olive oil. Blend very well until extremely smooth. Strain into an air-tight container and allow to chill in the fridge for at least an hour (this can be made the day before serving as well).
  • When ready to serve, portion the chilled soup evenly into bowls, then garnish with freshly picked basil, a few pieces of the crisped prosciutto, an extra drizzle of olive oil, and a fresh crack of black pepper. Enjoy!
