This recipe, from my vintage collection I received from my mother's estate, was in an old newspaper column at the first of a year. It was in a column about dieting and eating better in the new year. It makes a good soup for anytime of the year but especially on cool or cold days when you want to be warmed from the inside out. Serve with a crusty whole grain bread, if desired. The fruity stuffed cantaloupe recipe below is perfect for a light dessert or for a breakfast treat.
