Wow! This recipe for Chilled Cantaloupe Soup by Chef Gwen
http://www.food52.com/recipes/258_chilled_cantaloupe_soup was a serendipitous find. I was initially concerned that a melon-based soup would be overly sweet but this one was, in fact, nicely balanced as advertised with the addition of the citrus juices and the cinnamon. We enjoyed it and I'll definitely make it again. Because of timing issues, I wasn't able to pre-chill the soup and some of the ingredients undoubtedly warmed up a bit during prep. Probably the only thing I would change about this is to prepare and chill it in advance. As you can see from the photo, we added the fresh mint garnish (thank goodness it grows wild in the yard) but due to dietary restrictions, my portion did not contain yogurt. Mystery Guest Blogger Tom advises that the yogurt was a nice addition and served to further counterbalance some of the cantaloupe's sweetness as well as adding a bit of creaminess.
