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.
