Delicious. I like thick yogurt and love mint, so didn't thin or strain it. A lovely way to use up a small ripe cantaloupe.

Okay, now I get it. You combine the melon mixture with the yoghurt mixture.

This is a confusing recipe. What do you do with the grated melon, lime juice and chili powder? And why would you stir more yoghurt into the soup that already has 2 cups of it?
