My husband was a very good cook, but he operated with wild abandon when it came to picking recipes.
Strawberries, pickles, and powdered sugar? No problem.
Needless to say, it made for some interesting meals.
I’m more cautious. In my kitchen, the critical first step in cooking is always to analyze a recipe and its ingredients. If the concept of the recipe doesn’t work, you are pretty sure to be disappointed with the final product. Why waste your time and ingredients?
Sometimes, though, you find a recipe that you know won’t work, but the recipe writer’s vision is so far out there that, despite your misgivings, you just have to give it a try.
This is such a recipe.
Cantaloupe soup with a garnish of red onions, basil and jalapeños.
Really. Red onions and cantaloupe.
An impossible combination. Right?
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong!
This soup is delicious. It’s beautiful, too.
Who knew?

This sounds delicious! I’ll have to add it to our recipe binder.
Thanks!
It IS delicious, Dave. Easy, too. I hope you will give it a try.
