Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large honeydew melon
1 cup coconut milk
2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jiggers melon liqueur
1 bunch fresh mint

Steps:

  • Cut the honeydew melon in half and remove the seeds. Press the seed pith through a fine mesh sieve over a bowl, and reserve the resulting liquid. Discard the seeds. Cut the melon into sections, and remove the rind.
  • Place the melon and reserved melon liquid into a tall pot. Puree with a stick blender. Alternately, you can puree the ingredients in a blender. Add the coconut milk, then continue blending until smooth. Stir in the melon liqueur.
  • Remove the small tips on each sprig of mint, and reserve for garnish. Stack the remaining mint, then begin rolling the mint into a ball, securing with kitchen string. Drop the rolled mint into the pot with the melon soup. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Remove mint before dividing the soup into chilled cups. Garnish with the reserved mint tips.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk and it turned out just as good.
