CHILLED CANTALOUPE SOUP WITH IBERICO HAM

This cantaloupe soup is a very versatile recipe that is great for the summer, quick and easy to prepare,  and also very refreshing for the hot sunny days.
It's very important to serve the dish very cold, so when you finish preparing it, keep the soup in the fridge until the moment you serve it.
Cantaloupes are also commonly known as muskmelon, mush melons or Persian melons. Their high water  content helps ward off dehydration and the sweet and juicy flavor makes it perfect for the summer and it's a great snack to have during this hot season.
