It's the perfect time to enjoy this fresh mango and watermelon soup. It's a cool way to begin your summertime meal. For a creamier soup, add a dollop of crème fraîche to each serving.

Ingredients

• 5 c. seedless watermelon cubes (cut from 4 - 5 lb. watermelon)
• 2 c. mango cubes (cut from 1 - 2 large mangoes)
• 2 T. freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 T. honey
• 3 T. peeled ginger, grated
• pinch of salt
• pinch of ground cardamom, optional
• 2 T. fresh mint, chopped

Steps

1. Combine watermelon, mango, lime juice, and honey in a food processor.
2. Put the grated ginger in cheesecloth, a clean coffee filter, or a double thickness of paper towels and hand-squeeze the ginger juice into the processor, extracting as much liquid as possible. Add the salt and cardamom, if using. Puree until smooth.
3. Chill until cold, for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
