This cold soup blends inspirations: half Spanish gazpacho and, with a refreshing mix of yogurt, cucumber and mint, half Indian raita. When melons are at peak sugary and juicy ripeness, almost any variety will shine in this recipe. We’re particularly fond, however, of honeydew, canary melon and yellow watermelon.
