Seeing I haven't posted in quite a while, I thought that I would post
lowfat from the Taste of Home Lowfat Country Cooking. Out of 455 recipes I
only have 44 formatted. Plan on formatting the rest this week. Hope you all
enjoy these.

Combine watermelon and strawberries. Puree in batches in a blender, adding
sour cream, milk and sugar to the last batch. Pour into a 2-quart
container; mix well. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. To serve soup in
cantaloupe bowls, cut cantaloupes in half; hollow out melon and seeds,
leaving about a 1/2-inch shell. Cut a decorative edge if desired. Reserve
melon for another use. Add soup to shell; garnish with strawberry if
desired.

NOTES : My summertime soup always elicits a sweet response. Guests never
fail to request the recipe. To make it look even better, I often serve it
in cantaloupe bowls.
