Two Melon Soup

©1991 "From Ellie's Kitchen to Yours"

1 small very ripe cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 T fresh lemon juice
½ very ripe honeydew, peeled, seeded and chopped
3 T fresh lime juice
1½ tsp fresh mint, minced
Few mint sprigs, for garnish
Sour cream, for garnish (optional)

Purée cantaloupe in food processor or blender with lemon juice until smooth. Purée honeydew, lime juice and chopped mint the same way. Chill, covered, for at least 3 hours. Pour equal amounts of each puree, (using both hands at the same time) into each half of chilled bowls. Garnish with sour cream and mint.

Hint: This is such an unusual and pretty soup to serve because half of the bowl is orange and half is green. Also, the soup is refreshing and low in calories.
