I just tried this out and I love love love this soup. Wonderful for those steamy hot days when you don't feel like adding anything else hot to your body. It's creamy, cool and light.
1 medium cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and diced
1/4 cup lime juice
1 (14 oz) can light coconut milk
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. ground cinammon
1 medium seedless cucumber, peeled, cut into 1/4 inch dice
1 cup additional melon (honeydew or cantaloupe) cut into small cubes
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint leaves
1 Tbsp. agave syrup or honey, to taste
In a blender, puree chopped cantaloupe, lime juice and coconut milk. Pour in a large bowl through a sieve. Discard pulp.
Whisk chili powder and cinammon into the cantaloupe puree. Stir in cucumber, melon cubes and mint. Season to taste with the syrup and chill for an hour.
Makes 6 (1-cup) servings
