Chilled Cantaloupe Soup With Lemon And Ginger
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar (or Honey)
- 1 Tablespoon Finely Grated Lemon Zest
- 6 cups Coarsely Chopped, Fully Ripe Cantaloupe (about 1 Large, Or 1.5 Medium Cantaloupes)
- 1-1/2 Tablespoon Finely Grated Fresh Ginger Root
- 1-1/2 cup Milk
- 8 sprigs Fresh Mint Or Other Herbs, For Garnish
- 1 cup Finely Diced Cantaloupe, For Garnish
- Place butter, honey, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Microwave until butter is fully melted, about 45 seconds. Stir to blend mixture. Use a rubber spatula to scrape mixture into a food processor or blender.
- Add melon chunks and grated ginger and puree until as smooth as possible. (My food processor only fit about half of the melon, so I pureed it in two batches.) Transfer to a bowl and stir in milk until well-blended. Cover, and chill thoroughly (4 or more hours).
- Garnish each serving with a mint (or other herb) sprig, and a few pieces of diced cantaloupe if you'd like.
