Chilledmintedmelonsoupwwcore Recipes

Steps:

• Put 5 cups of diced watermelon in a food processor or blender and blitz to a purée. Strain purée through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. You should have about 4 cups purée. Season with salt and pepper and cayenne, 1 tablespoon vinegar and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Chill bowl on ice or refrigerate.
• To serve, place remaining diced watermelon, honeydew melon and cucumber in a small mixing bowl. Toss with a little salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons lime juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Divide mixture evenly into chilled soup bowls.
• Ladle watermelon purée into each bowl. Sprinkle with chives, basil and mint. Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper and flaky salt if desired. Pass lime wedges separately.

Steps:

• Combine honeydew melon, coconut milk, honey, lime juice, cinnamon, and ginger in a blender; blend until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour and serve chilled.

Steps:

• Place the orange juice, yogurt and cantaloupe in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Add the honey, salt, nutmeg and cayenne; cover and process until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Place the melons on a flat surface and split each one in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Use the larger-size scoop on a melon baller to scoop out the flesh. The goal is to tightly pack about 6 generous cups of melon flesh and then hollow the four melon halves out for presentation. Scrape the halves with a spoon to smooth the insides and gather additional flesh (and trap any juices) in a separate bowl until you have 1 heaping cup. Save the melon halves. Refrigerate the melon balls.
• Place the melon scraps and juices in a blender and add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the lime zest and juice and honey. Puree until smooth and taste for seasoning. Add more honey, if needed. Add a splash of water if more liquid is needed to make a smooth puree. Refrigerate.
• In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a generous amount of black pepper. Toss the melon balls with the dressing. Sprinkle the cucumbers and mint over the melon and mix a little. Fill the melon halves.

Steps:

• Put half of the cantaloupe into a blender along with the yogurt and blend until smooth. Add the remaining cantaloupe and blend again until smooth. Pour into a large mixing bowl. Add the orange juice, honey, nutmeg, salt and cayenne and blend until well mixed. Pour into a soup tureen and chill at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs before setting out.

Steps:

• Have all your fruit prepared and chilled.
• Place honeydew melon into a blender and process until smooth, (do not over process), pour into a bowl and set aside.
• Rinse out blender and process the cantaloupe until smooth; pour into a bowl.
• To each bowl of puréed melon; add 2 tablespoons chilled vodka, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons lime juice, stir well, cover and chill.
• Place sliced strawberries in blender and process until smooth. Pour into a bowl; cover and chill.
• To serve:.
• Pour 1/2 cup of cantaloupe mixture into each of 4 individual bowls.
• Pour 1/2 cup of honeydew mixture in center of cantaloupe mixture.
• Dollop each serving with 2 tablespoons of puréed strawberries in the center.
• Take a wooden tooth pick, place it below the surface of the strawberry purée and without lifting it, pull it to the edge of the bowl, passing through the honeydew and cantaloupe purées. Repeat this all the way around the bowl. For an even more decorative pattern, starting from the edge of the bowl (in-between the stripes you have just made), place the tooth pick into the cantaloupe purée and pull it in the opposite direction to the center of the bowl, passing through the honeydew purée ending in the strawberry purée. You can do more simple decorative pattens by making random swirls, waves, or wiggly lines. It is a blank canvas, have fun.
• Garnish with a sprig of mint. (optional).

Steps:

• Purée honeydew, mint, lime juice and ginger root in a blender until smooth (you may have to do this in batches).
• Serve immediately or transfer to a container and refrigerate up to 2 days. Top each portion with 1 tablespoon of yogurt before serving. Garnish with slivered mint leaves if desired. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup of the watermelon with mint and sugar in a bowl. Set aside. Blend remaining 8 cups watermelon, lemon juice, wine, and ginger in a blender until smooth. Let sit 1/2 hour. Strain soup; divide among 8 bowls. Top each with 1/8 cup reserved watermelon and 1 teaspoon feta.
