This cantaloupe dessert is a refreshing summer soup that should be made with perfectly ripe cantaloupes for the best flavor.
Simply add cubes of ripe, juicy cantaloupe to a blender and mix with milk, lemon juice, and cilantro until smooth. Sweeten with agave to taste. To make this dessert vegan or dairy-free, you may use almond milk.
I recommend serving the soup with some fresh raspberries, a perfect complement to cantaloupe.
