Chilled Mango And Pineapple Soup Recipes

CHILLED CANTALOUPE, MANGO AND PEACH SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Peel, seed and cut up all the fruit into chunks. Zest and juice orange and juice lemon.
• 2. Place all fruits, the zest, and liquids (juice and honey) into bowl of large food processor and process until smooth. If you have a small processor or blender, puree the fruits in batches, mixing them together in a large bowl after processing.
• 3. Put the puree through a food mill or fine sieve if desired to obtain the smoothest texture. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• 4. When ready to serve, ladle into shallow serving bowls or cups dividing into equal portions. Swirl in 1 to 2 tbsp of your choice of dairy product. Top with mint leaves and a quick grind of fresh nutmeg.
• 5. For special occasions, use a sweet white dessert wine in place of the grape juice. Note: Prep time does not include chilling time.

FRUIT SOUP

Steps:

• Combine all the fruit: cantaloupe, pineapple, peaches, apples, strawberries in a large mixing bowl, along with the sugar and honey. Add fruit mix to the pot on the stove and add your liquid ingredients of water, pineapple, lemon and orange juice.
• While the fruit mix is simmering on the stove, cut the bottom of your cantaloupe half (so as to not rock) and with your fruit baller, dig out 2 cups cantaloupe adding it to the rest of the fruit in the pot. Reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until fruit is soft.
• Allow fruit to cool down. When ready pour half of fruit mixture into blender. Blend until smooth. Repeat with the remaining mixture and chill until ready to serve.
• Spoon into bowls, garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and orange rind.

CHILLED PINEAPPLE CHAMPAGNE SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and core pineapples. Set fruit aside and place peel and cores in a large heavy saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook over moderate heat for 15 minutes. Strain liquid through cheesecloth, discard solids and return pineapple liquid to saucepan.
• Combine granulated sugar with remaining 2/3 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook briefly, approximately 5 minutes, just long enough to make a thin syrup.
• Cut pineapple in chunks, reserving a few slivers for garnish. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar over reserved pieces and set aside in refrigerator.
• Place remaining pineapple in saucepan together with liquid from the cooked peel and the sugar syrup. Add cinnamon if desired, especially if the pineapples are not very flavorful. Place over moderate heat, cover and cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until fruit is soft.
• In a food processor, puree the pineapple and liquid in batches. Coarsely chop the mint leaves and puree with pineapple. Taste and add brandy and salt if desired. Cool slightly, cover and place in refrigerator to chill overnight.
• The next day, stir in white wine and let sit for several hours. About 30 minutes before serving, delicately stir in the chilled Champagne. Serve in bowls set over iced liners. Float pineapple garnish decorated with mint leaves.
