Swirling soups of different colors together, in this case cantaloupe and honeydew, creates a stunning presentation.

6 servings | Active Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 1 1/4 hours

Ingredients

• 1 large cantaloupe, halved, seeded, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 4 tablespoons honey, divided
• 1 medium honeydew melon, halved, seeded, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint, plus additional sprigs for garnish

Preparation

1. Puree cantaloupe, lemon juice and coriander in a blender or food processor until smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey and pour into a bowl. Set aside.
2. Thoroughly rinse food processor or blender. Place honeydew in the food processor or blender with lime juice and chopped mint. Puree until smooth. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons honey and pour into another bowl. Cover both bowls and refrigerate until chilled, at least one hour or overnight.
