Update June Recipe: Iced Cantaloupe Soup

This is a terrific soup for a warm summer night.  I made it pretty much per the recipe, only I used agave syrup instead of sugar (about half of the quantity) and used three small limes.

The quality of the cantaloupe is important as the recipe describes.  Mine was very ripe.

I was also able to use three kinds of basil from my herb garden.

The basil/jalapeno/onion are key to this.  The soup alone, while delicious, is more like a smoothie.  The toppings really enhance the overall flavors.  Also, I would try to serve this as soon as possible, as I am not sure how it will look after warming up.
