It's getting hot outside and this week we felt inspired to get into the WOT Test Kitchen ASAP to bring you the perfect summer soup that is equally as beautiful as it is delicious!
Meet our Chilled Cantaloupe Soup. If you are looking for a light and refreshing appetizer or side dish this summer that comes together in just minutes (seriously, minutes), then look no further.
Not only can this recipe be made in a record time of ten minutes, but the only kitchen tool you will need to make it is a blender – Which means easy clean-up!
WOT we love about this recipe (besides how fast it is): is that it can be served in shot glasses and double as a palette refresher in between courses! It’s also bright and colorful and looks seasonally stunning on any table.
