Dessert melon soup
Description
Perfect for lunch. Sweet melon soup is a delightful treat not only for children but for adults as well. I love preparing this soup for my family (especially during hot summer days). It refreshes wonderfully and provides a satisfying meal. Additionally, you can combine the soup with your favorite berries and fruits. Serve the soup hot.

Step 1
1. I came up with this soup recipe when my son asked for a refreshing soup during a hot spell. Without much thought, I looked into the refrigerator and my recipe book. I found an amazing and simple recipe for sweet melon soup. So, we'll need just a little—either one-third or half of a small melon. Remove the seeds from the flesh and cut it into cubes.

2. Cut the melon into cubes and place it in a blender. Add mint sprigs to taste and sugar syrup. Making the syrup is simple: boil water and add sugar until the water begins to turn into syrup immediately after boiling. I do it by eye, but the recipe ratio is 1 to 1. Add the syrup to the melon in the blender and start blending. Then transfer everything to a pan with a non-stick bottom and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes over low heat, then remove from heat.

3. I decorated it with a mint sprig and strawberries. But the decoration should be edible, so pair fruits and berries with the melon that go well together. For example, melon goes well with pineapple, apple, raspberry, strawberry, and even currant.

4. Right before serving, I garnished it with powdered sugar. Please note that this soup turns out very sweet, so it's better to choose a melon variety that is not overly sweet.
