Summer Soup - Melon Melange

Saw this recipe in Redbook and it looked so yummy, I had to pass this along.  Ever try a cold summer soup?  They can be sooo refreshing.  I'm dying to give this one a try.

This recipe is from  Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico.

1 medium cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/4 cup lime juice
1 (14-oz) can light coconut milk
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 medium seedless cucumber, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup additional melon (honeydew or cantaloupe), cut into small cubes
2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
1 Tbsp agave syrup or honey, to taste

1. In a blender, puree chopped cantaloupe, lime juice, and coconut milk. Pour into a large bowl through a sieve. Discard pulp.

2. Whisk chili powder and cinnamon into cantaloupe puree. Stir in cucumber, melon cubes, and mint. Season to taste with syrup; chill for one hour.

Makes 6 (1-cup) servings.

Let me know how it tastes!
