CHILLED WATERMELON SOUP
This simple, refreshing gazpacho-like chilled soup depends on the sweetness of the watermelon, tempered by the addition of olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and salt, to create the perfect balance of flavors. A little spiciness in the form of cayenne or crushed red pepper is welcome, too, as is an extra squeeze of lime juice at the table.

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.

COLD CANTALOUPE SOUP
Cold cantaloupe soup has become a summer staple in my house, a quick and easy solution to the question of a first course at dinner. I have even served it in espresso cups for guests to sip with cocktails. All it takes is a ripe orange-fleshed melon, like a cantaloupe, or perhaps a musk melon from a farm stand. I chill the melon, and when I'm ready to prepare the soup, I peel and seed it, then cut it into chunks. I find that if I start with a small amount of the chunks in the blender and process them until they are puréed, I can then add the rest gradually with no need for additional liquid. The juice of one lime and salt to taste are all I add, except for a final drizzle of my best balsamic vinegar on top. You can add mint leaves, cayenne or even a garnish of diced prosciutto or feta instead of the vinegar if you wish.

- Add lime juice and blend briefly. Season with salt to taste and blend again.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve, or serve at once. Divide soup among 6 soup plates and drizzle a little balsamic vinegar in a circular or squiggly pattern on top of each.

CHILLED MELON SOUP
I took this from Eating Well Magazine and it is a favorite at our home! I omitted the jalapeno, but the original recipe does call for 1 pepper chopped and added to blender with the scallions. You can try any variety of melon with this soup! I have so far only made it with watermelon and it was wonderful!

Steps:
- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a small bowl. Press tofu through strainer into bowl. Stir in white soy sauce. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD:Can be made 4 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
- Set a medium-mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Halve melons horizontally. Scrape seeds, strings, and juices from center of each melon half into strainer. Press lightly on mixture in strainer to release juices. Discard solids in strainer. Reserve juices.
- Using a small melon baller, scoop out 18 balls from 1 melon half. Place melon balls in a small bowl; season lightly with sea salt and vinegar and gently toss. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Drain; transfer to a small bowl and reserve.
- Meanwhile, cut rind from remaining 3 melon halves and cut flesh into 2" pieces. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent but not browned, about 10 minutes. Cut a parchment-paper round just large enough to cover surface of soup in pot. Add melon pieces with reserved juices to pot. Cover pot with parchment-paper round. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until melon is soft but not mushy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into melon reads 150°, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Working in batches, purée soup in a blender until smooth. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl. Strain soup. Season to taste with sea salt. Cover and chill, along with serving bowls, until cold, about 4 hours.
- Ladle soup into chilled bowls. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoons of the tofu mixture into center. Top with a few toasted almonds and 3 melon balls. Drizzle almond oil over and garnish with fresh herbs.
CHILLED MELON SOUP
This soup reminds me of summer. It's easy, cool, colorful, and refreshing. It is perfect for a bridal shower, baby shower, or ladies luncheon; men like it too. The presentation will bring out your artistic side. Preparation time does not include chilling. Easy to double or triple. NOTE: I recommend using a wide rimmed shallow soup bowl (if they are available to you). The surface area is larger and gives you a broader "canvas" to create your pattern. What ever style bowl you have will work, YOU are the artist with this recipe, not the bowl. Have Fun...

- 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).
