Texas Melon Soup

By Linda Larsen, About.com

This delicious and beautiful recipe is perfect for summer entertaining.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups chopped cantaloupe
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 cups chopped honeydew melon
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

Preparation:

Place cantaloupe, half of the sugar and half of the orange juice, and half of the salt in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover and chill. Repeat with honeydew melon and remaining sugar, orange juice, and salt. Chill in a separate bowl.

When ready to serve, pour equal amounts of melon mixture carefully into each individual bowl, pouring both at the same time, keeping the melon mixtures as separate as possible. You'll have a two-color soup that is beautiful and delicious. Serves 4-6
