Cantaloupe gazpacho soup is summer special cold melon soup or cold cantaloupe soup. Though it's almost similar to the famous Spanish Gazpacho Soup but here tomatoes are replaced with melons. This is a fruity, soothing and refreshing soup for the hot summers.
In summer, sunny days and hot, humid weather, we need food that is cooling and soothing for our bodies. Otherwise, our bodies may get dehydrated. So watery and juicy fruits and vegetables are always the best to hydrate us.
Why is cantaloupe or muskmelon good in summer?
Cantaloupe or muskmelon has a high water content, just like watermelon. So, it takes care of fluid loss in our bodies and keeps us fully hydrated during sunny days. You can make juice out of it or eat it as fruit only. The best time to eat this melon is in the morning and afternoon. One should avoid taking melons after the evening as that will create digestive disorders.
Cantaloupe is an excellent source of beta-carotene, vitamins C and A, potassium, and folic acid. This has high fiber as well. It has other essential vitamins and essential nutrients. Hence, it also has numerous health benefits apart from hydrating our bodies.
Summer Cantaloupe Gazpacho Soup
I love authentic gazpacho soup and any other cold summer soup. I have made mango gazpacho & watermelon gazpacho this month. Also, instead of being sweet, these are savory. My muskmelon gazpacho has a spicy flavor from Thai red hot chilies. You can also add jalapeno to the soup.
Add refreshing herbs like mint leaves and basil leaves to your summer soup for a refreshing flavor. You may also add cilantro leaves. The other herb that goes excellent with any gazpacho soup is basil leaves.
Ingredients:-
The essential ingredients are cantaloupe, cucumber, bell peppers, onion, and chili. I have taken red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper for seasoning. Simple lemon juice will also do well if you don't have red wine or balsamic vinegar.
Instructions:-
Just pulse all the ingredients, and a delicious summer soup recipe is ready.
