Cantaloupe, Lime and Chili Soup


adapted from Martha Stewart Living, July 2012
via Marilyn Manning

makes 1 quart

a 3-pound cantaloupe
¾ teaspoon sambal oelek (Asian chili paste)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
¼ teaspoon coarse salt


Cut flesh of cantaloupe into large chunks. Purée with sambal oelek, lime juice and salt in a blender until smooth. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.

Stir very well, and swirl in more sambal oelek if desired before serving.

This gorgeous simple summer soup has a nice bite to it. Be careful if you add more chili paste. The flavors mellow slightly as the soup chills.
