cantaloupe soup in a white bowl

Use in-season melons for this delicious, cold soup that makes the perfect appetizer or first-course! The flavor of the melon plays off of toasty spices and cooling sour cream for an excellent nutritious side dish. 


Ingredients

  • 2 cantaloupes
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ cup fat-free sour cream, plus 4 teaspoons for garnish

Directions

  • Cut cantaloupes in half. Remove seeds. With a spoon or melon baller, remove fruit from flesh. Refrigerate rinds to use as soup "bowls."
  • Put melon into blender with sour cream and spices. Blend to a creamy consistency. Refrigerate for at least an hour to chill soup and let flavors blend.
  • Pour soup into melon bowls and swirl in a teaspoon of sour cream as a garnish.
