Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Chilled Puree Of Carrot & Melon

 

Ingredients

4 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, roughly diced
1 lb carrots, roughly chopped
4 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken, broth
1 cup diced cantaloupe
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp milk
3 tbsp plain yogurt



 

Preparation

HEAT THE OIL IN A STOCK POT over low heat, add the onions and slowly
cook, stirring, for about 7 minutes. Do not let them color. Add the
carrots and continue cooking, stirring, until most of their water has
been released and they fall apart, about 35 minutes. Add the stock,
cover, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer about 15 minutes.
Add the cantaloupe, salt, coriander and cumin and cook 2 minutes.
Strain and reserve the liquid. Transfer the carrots, onions and
cantaloupe to a blender or food processor and puree until very
smooth. Return the puree to the pot and add the reserved liquid.
Chill in refrigerator for 2-to-3 hours. Combine the milk and the
yogurt in a small bowl until smooth. Reserve until serving. Pour the
soup into chilled soup bowls just before serving. Decorate the
surface by spooning 3 simple lines of yogurt mixture across the
surface of each bowl of soup. Using the handle end of the spoon,
lightly drag across the 3 stripes at a 90-degree angle to make a
"feathered" decoration.
