Stay Cool in the Kitchen!

The temperatures have been soaring in Sausalito and Marin County this week. Many of you have been seeking relief at the beach, movies, and museums. I know we have. Another struggle we have been faced with this week is cooking. Who wants to cook in this heat? That is why we were so excited to find this cold soup recipe and we just had to share it!!


Cantaloupe Soup with Mint
 

 


 
 
  • 1 large cantaloupe (about 3 lb.)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, plus small sprigs for garnish, optional

Preparation

1. Halve melon, scoop out seeds and remove rind. Cut flesh into large chunks. (You should have about 6 cups.)
2. Working in batches if necessary, combine cantaloupe, honey and orange juice in a blender. Pulse or blend until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours.
3. Just before serving, briskly whisk soup and stir in mint. Serve very cold, garnished with sprigs of mint, if desired.
