Cool Cantaloupe Soup With Basil Cream

Time: 12 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cantaloupe, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 lb.)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fine sugar
• 1/2 cup packed basil leaves
• 3/4 cup sparkling white grape juice

Directions

• 1 Soup:.
• 2 Place the cantalope, lemon juice, and zest in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the mint and salt and pulse to combine. Transfer to a large bowl, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• 3 Basil Cream:.
• 4 Place the cream and sugar in the bowl of food processor and process until slightly thickened. Add the basil and process until thick-about 20 seconds-and set aside. Add the grape to the soup right before serving. Divide evenly among four bowls and top with the cream. Enjoy!
• 5 Note:.
• 6 You may use purple sparkling grape juice, but this will change the color of the soup.
