An easy to make chilled soup made with refreshing melon and vegan bacon.
Ingredients
- 1 cantaloupe ripe and seeds removed
- 2 teaspoon sherry vinegar or lemon juice

- Add melon to blender with the vinegar or lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour, but ideally 2 hours or up to 24 hrs.
- Before serving, cook the vegan bacon as instructed on package. Allow to cool and then break up into pieces.
