I found this recipe in a Bed and Breakfast cookbook a number of years ago and have been making it for our guests for several years now and it’s always a huge hit. I call it “Mango Melon Soup” as I serve it as a fruit course, one of 3 courses we serve for breakfast each morning at the B&B, but is also a Mango Melon Smoothie as well. This is one of my hubby’s favorites, I always make extra so he can have some too. Enjoy!
