List of ingredients for Thai Melon Soup


* 1 ripe Galia or Honeydew Melon
* 1 Cucumber
* 1 stalk of Lemongrass
* 1 heaped teaspoon of freshly Grated Ginger
* A good pinch of finely chopped fresh Chilli (more or less to taste)
* 200ml Coconut milk
* A large handful of Thai or regular Basil
* A small handful of fresh Mint
* 1-2 Limes, Juice and Zest

===Method===
* Halve your Melon. Scoop out the Seeds. Spoon the flesh from the skin straight into a Blender or Food processor.
* Peel your Cucumber. Roughly chop. Add to the Melon.
* Bash your Lemongrass stalk till it flattens and softens a bit. Peel the outer layer away. Thinly slice starting at the base. Finely chop till you have about 1 heaped tsp.
* Add the Lemongrass to the Blender/Food processor along with the Ginger, Chilli, Coconut milk, Basil, Mint and the Zest and Juice of 1 Lime.
* Whizz till smooth. Taste. Add more Lemongrass, Ginger, Chilli, Herbs or Lime juice as needed. Swirl in a bit more Coconut milk, too, if needed (depends on the Melon’s sweetness).
* Once it's so good you can't stop eating it, pop it in the Freezer to chill quickly or the Fridge if you’re serving it later. Lovely garnished with a swirl of Coconut milk drizzled on top and some fresh Basil leaves.
