Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups watermelon, cut into 1/2-inch dice and seeded
3 cups honeydew melon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 medium cantaloupe, very ripe, seeded and cut into large chunks
1 pint vanilla or lemon nondairy ice cream
2 cups orange juice, preferably fresh
Blueberries for garnish
Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Steps:

To make part of this soup ahead of time, prepare the watermelon and honeydew as directed, combine in a mixing bowl, then cover and refrigerate. Place the cantaloupe chunks in a separate container. Cover and chill for an hour or more.
Just before serving, combine the cantaloupe, nondairy ice cream, and orange juice in a food processor and process, in batches if necessary, until smoothly pureed.
Divide among 6 serving bowls. Place approximately 1 cup of the watermelon and honeydew mixture in each. Scatter some blueberries over the top of each serving and garnish with 2 or 3 mint leaves.
