How to prepare melon soup step by step
- We start by cutting the melon in half and chopping it into small pieces, reserving some for decoration. Then, we preheat the oven to 180 °C. We place the ham slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook them for about 10-15 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
- While the ham is cooking in the oven, we prepare the soup. We use a glass blender to mix the melon pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix until a smooth and homogeneous texture is obtained. We can try the melon soup and add salt or pepper if necessary.
- Once the crispy ham slices are ready, we take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Then we break them into smaller pieces to get the crunchy touch we want from the soup.
- When serving, pour the melon soup into individual glasses or bowls. Add (optionally) the reserved melon chunks on top as a garnish. Finally, we arrange the pieces of crunchy ham on top of the soup, thus providing a crunchy and tasty texture.
- Now we can present this melon soup with crunchy ham to our guests. Enjoy the unique combination of flavors and textures in this refreshing and delicious dish. The sweetness of the melon blends perfectly with the crunchy ham, creating a very interesting gastronomic experience.

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
