Paleo Cantaloupe Soup

On a hot day, this Paleo Cantaloupe Soup will last seconds before you'll hear slurps and see empty bowls. Get it while it's cold. :) by Marla Starr, updated February 16, 2015 Posted on July 31, 2013

While we were in Napa visiting Dave, I made this Paleo Cantaloupe Soup and both Jeff & Dave were licking the bowl clean. To help keep Dave on the Paleo path I knew it had to be the first recipe I posted once we were back…ok ok it’s also because he was askin’ for it. :)

There’s so many different types of melons and now is the best time to try a different kind. Actually, did you know they are part of the gourd family? Just a little fun fact I came across and thought was interesting.

Cantaloupe is just one of the typical three you probably know of, you know besides watermelon and the green one (my grandpa called it muskmelon but you probably call it honeydew). :)

Paleo Cantaloupe Soup

Last summer I experimented with Santa Claus melon and while I was in Missoula, MT I picked up a Casaba melon to try.

When we got back home and I went to restock the fridge I brought home both a Crenshaw and a Canary melon. The Crenshaw was quite low key in flavor and we have yet to dig in to the Canary.

Paleo Cantaloupe Soup

For this Paleo gazpacho (cold soup), definitely go with cantaloupe.

How to Choose the Perfect Cantaloupe

When you pick a cantaloupe choose one that is a nice beige color. You want to avoid ones that look too green. Feel around and check for soft spots, there should be some give but not too much. Buy melons that are fragrant, they should smell sweet (but not too sweet).

Paleo Cantaloupe Soup

This recipe made enough to serve three (that’s one homunculus, one brobdingnagian and me).

Side Note: If you happen to buy a large cantaloupe and have leftover pieces, store chopped melon sealed in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Paleo Cantaloupe Soup

Yield: Makes 5 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 medium cantaloupe
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt

  • black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Halve the cantaloupe, remove the seeds and scoop the fruit into a blender.
  2. Chop the yellow bell pepper, red onion and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. With the motor running drizzle in olive oil.
  4. Pour soup in bowls (or cantaloupe halves).
  5. Garnish with a pinch of sea salt & black pepper and serve.
  6. Enjoy! :)
