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.
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
Combine watermelon, mango, lime juice, and honey in a food processor.
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.
Chill until cold, for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
Serve cold, garnished with the mint.
