Cantaloupe Soup
Though this soup can be eaten hot or cold, I prefer it cold accompanied by some baked, not fried tortilla chips. Makes 4 Servings


Ingredients:

1 large ripe cantaloupe
2 teaspoons candied ginger, finely chopped
Cinnamon or freshly ground nutmeg for garnish
1 cup evaporated skim milk
Honey (optional)
Pinch Kosher salt


Instructions:
1. Cut cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds. Put the halves on a cutting board, cut side down. Slice off the skin of the melon with a sharp chef's or utility knife. Then cut into 1-inch chunks. You should have about 5 cups.

2. Purée cantaloupe in a food processor with ginger and salt. With the motor running pour milk down the feed tube of the food processor and purée until a smooth consistency is achieved. Taste and add honey if not sweet enough.

3. Refrigerate a few hours before serving. To serve, dust with cinnamon or freshly ground nutmeg.
