Chilled Puree of Carrot and Melon
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onions roughly diced
- 1 pound carrots roughly chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth or lowsodium chicken broth
- 1 cup cantaloupe diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coriander ground
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons yogurt, plain
- Heat the oil in a stock pot over low heat.
- Add the onions and slowly cook, stirring, for about 7 minutes.
- Do not let them color.
- Add the carrots and continue cooking, stirring, until most of their water has been released and they fall apart, about 35 minutes.
- Add the stock, cover, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer about 15 minutes.
- Add the cantaloupe, salt, coriander and cumin and cook 2 minutes.
- Strain and reserve the liquid.
- Transfer the carrots, onions and cantaloupe to a blender or food processor and puree until very smooth.
- Return the puree to the pot and add the reserved liquid.
- Chill in refrigerator for 2-to-3 hours.
- Combine the milk and the yogurt in a small bowl until smooth.
- Reserve until serving.
- Pour the soup into chilled soup bowls just before serving.
- Decorate the surface by spooning 3 simple lines of yogurt mixture across the surface of each bowl of soup.
- Using the handle end of the spoon, lightly drag across the 3 stripes at a 90-degree angle to make a "feathered" decoration.
