Preparation
Step 1
Use a melon baller to scoop most of cantaloupe flesh into small balls. (Alternatively, cut flesh into small cubes). Set aside.
Use a large spoon to scrape out remaining melon flesh and place in the bowl of a food processor.
Cut 2 peaches into wedges and set aside. Cut the third into chunks and add to food processor, along with salt and vanilla seeds. Purée.
Heat honey in a small saucepan over low heat until liquefied, about 1 minute. Add honey to fruit purée in food processor, then stir in lemon juice.
Divide soup among 4 shallow bowls. Place melon balls and peach wedges in center of bowls. Garnish with mint and raspberries, if desired. Serve immediately.
