step 1

ingredients 3/4 cup Grated ginger
2 cups Granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups Cold water

instructions For the Ginger Simple Syrup: Place all ingredients in a small pot. Place on medium heat and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain and cool completely.
step 2

ingredients 4 cups honeydew melon (cubed)
1/4 cup Ginger simple syrup
1 lime (juice and zest)
kosher salt

instructions For the Heavenly Honeydew Soup: Cube melon and place in blender with ginger simple syrup, a pinch of salt and juice and zest of 1 lime. Puree until smooth, this base should be thin enough to drink. If not thin enough, add a little water to loosen.
step 3

ingredients 1/4 cup honeydew melon (diced)
1/4 cup watermelon (diced)
1/2 teaspoon ginger (minced)
1 lime (zested)
1/4 cup mint (chopped)

instructions For the Watermelon Salsa: Dice honeydew and watermelon and toss with minced ginger, lime zest and chopped mint leaves. Carla's Tip: Ripe melons will be tender near the "button" and have a fragrant aroma.
step 4

ingredients

instructions Pour honeydew puree into shallow bowls, top with watermelon salsa. Carla's Tip: If you don't have a shallow bowl, use a martini glass so the salsa won't sink to the bottom.
step 5

ingredients Greek yogurt (to garnish)
mint (to garnish)

instructions Garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and sprig of mint. Carla's Tip: You can freeze this soup to make popsicles!
