Recipe Introduction


This is an excellent refreshing soup for the summer. Makes an unusual accompanyment for breakfast.


List of Ingredients




6 medium sized ripe peaches
1/4 cup dry white wine
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey (I use more for a sweeter taste)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste
Dash of nutmeg or to taste
1 medium sized ripe cantaloupe (5" diameter)
1 cup fresh orange juice

Recipe



Peel, pit and slice the peaches. Place them in a heavy saucepan with everything except the cantaloupe and orange juice. Heat the peach mixture to a boil and lowr to a simmer, cover and let it stew for 10 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature.

Using a blender or a food processor, puree the peach mixture with all its liquid. Return the pruee to a serving bowl.

Chop approximately 3/4 of the cantaloupe (minus skin and seeds) and puree it in the orange juice until smooth. Add it to the peach puree. Mince the remaining melon and add these pieces unpureed. Cover and chill.

Serve very cold.
