Chilled Melon, Cucumber and Coconut Milk Soup

Serves 4 - 6

This soup works perfectly as a cooling appetizer or intermezzo to spicy or curried main dishes. If melons are out of season, or if you buy one that isn't at its peak ripeness, add 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar to sweeten.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 honeydew, peeled, seeded and cut into large chunks
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 3/4 cup low-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup shaved unsweetened coconut, lightly toasted

In a blender or a food processor fitted with a knife blade, combine honeydew, cucumber and coconut milk; puree until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Top with toasted coconut before serving.
