Melon Soup

Having celiac disease has its advantages. My diet has become so much more imaginative and my cooking repertoire has expanded. Recently, I made melon soup and my life is now better than ever. I don't know where I heard of this melon soup business, but I looked it up online and read about ten recipes and then went to the kitchen and didn't follow any of them. I put about half a medium sized honeydew melon, a cup of plain yogurt, a couple tablespoons of orange juice concentrate, a few squirts of lemon juice, a drizzle of honey, a half cup of cucumber, and a teaspoon of ground ginger into my blender, ran the blender, refrigerated the soup, and ate it. And was happy. Slightly less ginger might have been better. But life goes on.   And just think of the possible variations!
