Peach and Cantaloupe Soup





6 large ripe peaches, about 2 1/2 pounds , peeled, pitted, and chopped

1 medium cantaloupe, very ripe, peeled, seeded, and chopped

juice from two medium size oranges

1/4- cup apple juice

dash cayenne pepper

pinch of salt

1/4- cup plain yogurt

blueberries for garnish, optional

In a food processor or blender, puree the peaches and melon until smooth. With the food processor running, add the orange juice, apple juice, and cayenne pepper through the feed tube. Add salt. Continue to process until smooth.
**Depending on the size of your processor you will probably have to puree in batches. Just combine all batches in a large non- reactive bowl or storage container.
Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
To serve, stir well and ladle into 6 small soup bowls. Top each serving with a small dollop yogurt and a sprinkling of blueberries.
Edible flowers (pesticide free!!) would look lovely as a garnish, as well.
