Steps:
- Peel, halve, and seed 2 cucumbers, then coarsely chop. (You should have about 4 1/2 cups.) Halve and seed remaining (unpeeled) cucumber; cut into a 1/4-inch dice.

Transfer soup to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
- Smear 1/4 cup yogurt onto two sides of each serving bowl. Spoon chilled soup into bowls, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with diced cucumbers and mint. Serve, with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Choose ripe cantaloupes: Look for cantaloupes with a deep orange color and a sweet, fragrant smell. Avoid cantaloupes with green or pale flesh, as they will be less flavorful.
- Chill the cantaloupes and honeydew: Chilling the cantaloupes and honeydew before making the soup will help to make it extra refreshing.
- Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor will make quick work of pureeing the cantaloupes and honeydew. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can also mash the cantaloupes and honeydew by hand.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you find that the soup is too sweet, you can add a little bit of lime juice or lemon juice to taste. You can also add a little bit of honey or sugar if you find that the soup is not sweet enough.
- Garnish with mint: Mint is a classic garnish for cantaloupe and honeydew soup. It adds a refreshing flavor and aroma to the soup.

Cold honeydew and mint soup in cantaloupe is a delicious and refreshing summer soup. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up ripe cantaloupes and honeydew.
