On Sunday mornings all I want to do is get up late, read the paper, drink my coffee, and eat copious amounts of cantaloupe. But, oh the effort. You have to chop it in half, remove the seeds, cut it up – or if you are fancy – make little balls. Oh, I need a nap just thinking about it. So this morning I was staring at the cantaloupe I bought, pondering paying someone to do all the labor, when I thought – gosh, wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would make cantaloupe soup? That way I could have a cool and refreshing soup on a hot day where the heat index is over 100 (Um, hi, do we live in Florida? Are you kidding me with this weather???). Maybe this person could throw in some funky stuff like ginger, cinnamon, oh… and maybe some coconut milk! And mint!! That’s like summer in a bowl. Gosh darn it – who could do such a thing? Then I got up and looked in the mirror and said – Soupergirl! Could you make such a soup? And the mirror responded – yes, yes I can. Only if you get help with your dual personality issues. And I said – DEAL! Because I love me some cantaloupe soup.

Ingredients (in no particular order): cantaloupe, lemon juice, coconut milk, ginger, mint, cinnamon, brown sugar, pure almond extract
