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.

Steps:
- Cut cantaloupe in 1-inch chunks. Place about 1/4 of them in a blender and process at high speed until puréed. Once you have a purée, gradually add remaining melon, processing until the mixture is smooth.
- 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.

- Seed, peel and chop melon into chunks. Add the melon and it's juices into a high-speed blender (I use VitaMix). Add the yogurt, oil, zest, 1 Tbs of lime juice, mint and cayenne. Blend until smooth. Season with additional lime juice, salt and/or cayenne if needed.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer if needed. If using a high-speed blender, I find this step unnecessary. Chill for at least two hours before serving. Serve chilled in small bowls, glasses or cups. Garnish with a pinch of cayenne or a drizzle of olive oil. Store in a lidded container, in the refrigerator for up to four days.
