Published by Chatelaine on 7/1/2006

This ginger-flavoured soup is fabulous to begin a weekend brunch. And while it works with light sour cream, you'll get a better texture if you use regular.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium very ripe cantaloupes, about 2 lbs (1 kg) each
  • 1/2 to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) thickly sliced strawberries
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) grated fresh ginger or 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped fresh ginger

Add to Grocery List
  1. Cut cantaloupes in half. Remove and discard seeds. Cut into wedges, then slice close to peel to remove fruit. Cut into large chunks. (You should have about 7 cups/1.75 L.)
  2. Place cantaloupe chunks, 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream, strawberries, ginger and 1 tsp (5 mL) lime juice in bowl of a food processor or blender. Work in batches, if necessary. Blend until smooth. Taste and stir in additional sour cream and remaining lime juice, if you wish.
  3. Refrigerate just until cold, 2 to 4 hours, or up to 2 days. Chill soup bowls in the freezer or refrigerator. Ladle soup into chilled bowls, then garnish with mint leaves and more sliced strawberries.
