Cantaloupe Soup

I let a cantaloupe sit a little too long on the counter. When I cut it open it smelled wonderful, but was just a little too mushy to eat solid. So I made soup with it and I might like this better than plain fruit.

1 whole cantaloupe seeded and cut from the rind

2 T. lemon juice

1 jalapeño pepper- seeded

1 inch of fresh ginger root- peeled

Salt

In a food processor place the ginger and the jalapeño and pulse until minced. Add the cantaloupe and lemon juice and run until pureed. Add a little salt to taste. If your cantaloupe was not sweet enough you may want to add a little honey.

Chill and serve.

You could also substitute fresh mint leaves for the jalapeno for a variation.
