List of Ingredients




2 Papayas* (approximately 3 pounds)
1 large Onion
2 Tbsp. chopped Ginger
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 ozs. Butter
2 ozs. Olive Oil
4 Mint Leaves
8 Cups Water



Recipe



Peel the papayas and take out the seeds. Cut the papayas into big cubes. Chop the onion and the ginger. Put the butter, olive oil, and chooped onion in a pan and cook over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent. Add the chopped ginger and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the papaya cubes, mint, salt, pepper, and water and cook over high heat until the mixture boils. Cover the soup and continue boiling for 20 minutes. When it is cooked, stir the soup and break up any large pieces.

Serve hot, warm, or iced. (But the chef personally recommends you serve it iced in the summer time.)

* You can substitute melon for papaya.
