 \"Cantaloupe<\/a><\/p>\n

All the recipes that I found on Google were very sweet and fruity.  I was a little discouraged – but then I decided to make up my own recipe.<\/p>\n

So, I went over to Allyson’s today to get a couple of other opinions.<\/p>\n

First, we  cut and pureed the melon in a food processor-<\/p>\n

\"Cantaloupe<\/a> \"Cantaloupe<\/a> <\/p>\n

then we put the larger pieces through a food mill.<\/p>\n

\"Cantaloupe<\/a> \"Cantaloupe<\/a> <\/p>\n

And then we added our ingredients into small ramekins so that we could pick our favorites.<\/p>\n

\"Cantaloupe<\/a> <\/p>\n

We mixed and tasted and added a little -then tasted- basically- we tasted a lot!<\/p>\n

Our favorite- the best- is the following recipe.<\/p>\n

Chilled melon soup with coconut milk, capers and dark cherry salsa in a cloud of Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n

(Long title=good soup)<\/p>\n

Ingredients-<\/p>\n

Basically the title.<\/p>\n

1 large cantaloupe melon- processed until smooth<\/p>\n

1 can coconut milk- well shaken before opening<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup pomegranate juice- mainly for the color<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp lemon juice<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp salt<\/p>\n

1 jar small capers<\/p>\n

1 batch of dark cherry salsa<\/a><\/p>\n

1 small carton of Greek yogurt<\/p>\n

Mix the first 5 ingredients together.  Then, according to your taste add the capers by the teaspoon and mash them to release the flavor.  Keep tasting- I liked more of the caper zing than Ally, so I stopped at 4 tsps. and added extra to my bowl at the end as a garnish.<\/p>\n

Chill for several hours.  Then serve in small bowls or ramekins and garnish with a teaspoon of Greek yogurt on soup’s surface and sprinkle a tablespoon of cherry salsa over the top.  Add capers if you like a little more sass and vinegar!<\/p>\n

Aiden gave it his total approval.  He ate 3 ramekins and wanted more!<\/p>\n

\"Cantaloupe<\/a> \"Cantaloupe<\/a> \"Cantaloupe<\/a> <\/p>\n

The texture of the salsa took him a little longer to eat.  But he was one very happy little taste tester! <\/p>\n

I love this soup for an appetizer or a light lunch on a hot summer day.<\/p>\n

It has a lovely presentation, a light and cooling texture, and is flavorful and fruity and just downright delicious. <\/p>\n

Try it- I think you’ll love it, too! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
