Minty Melon Soup

Minty Melon Soup

I have a new cookbook by Mark Bittman whose book, How to Cook Everything is a well thumbed reference in my kitchen. This book is called, Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix, and the format and possibilities of mixing and matching ingredients really intrigue me (http://amzn.to/2xJuDA0).

I plan to make a lot of new dishes with this new book, this weekend I made a chilled Melon soup for a girlfriend of mine and we both agreed that it was divine. I deviated slightly from Bittman's recipe, mainly by blending the mint into the soup instead of removing it after infusion. The hint of chili and the chopped pistachios on top were a touch I especially appreciated.
