Hi ma’am! I am a big fan of yours! Thank you so much for publishing this awesome soup recipe. Though you’d published long back, but I found it today only. It’s a great one for the summers, and I am enjoying one currently as I am based in Australia. Thanks once again.
Hello Manjula
This soup turned out great and was very refreshing. I needed to use a whole cantaloupe to get 4 cups. Thanks for all your great recipes.
WOW. Nice and unique recipe. This year I am growing melons in our backyard. We started seeing few small melons. I will definitely try this recipe with our home grown melons.
I really want to thank you for posting such unique recipes.
Thanks
