Recipe of the Day - September 21 (melon soup)
Melon Soup
When is the best time to eat a melon? Once it begins to soften and before it breaks down.
Judging the worth of many melons is literally right in your hands and under your thumb. Use your sense of touch to detect nuances of softening. Go straight to the melon's blossom end: the base of the fruit, opposite the stem. A melon is ready to pick or eat when the skin is fairy easy to depress.
Ingredients
6 lbs of your favorite ripe melon
2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
additional melon for garnish
Preparation
Peel, seed, and chunk the melon.
Combine with orange juice and lime juice and puree in a blender or food processor.
Finely mince additional melon pieces to make melon confetti and sprinkle over the soup.
Serves 5
