Melon Soup

At the Incredible Feast, Renee Erickson of Boat Street Cafe made a wonderful chilled melon soup from Tonnemaker's melons. It was delicious. She made it spur of the moment so it did not make it into their published recipes for the event, however, she did tell me the basics and it is very close to a recipe that I have used in the past. Since the French Orange melons are so sweet, I would start with only 1/2TBS of sugar and add to taste.

Melon Soup Serves two
1 French Orange Melon
1/2-1TBS sugar
juice of 1/2 lime
3/4 c. water or a light white wine
fresh mint to garnish

Peel the melon. Cut in half and remove the seeds. Cut the melon flesh into chunks. In a food processor, puree the melon, lime juice and water/wine. Add the sugar to taste. Serve in chilled bowls with a mint garnish
