Pineapple Melon Mint Cold Summer Soup

This is one of the most refreshing soups I have ever had. It is SUPER SIMPLE and came from Knob Hill Resturant in Tubac, AZ where I had lunch today. The chef, Noah, was kind enough to share his recipe and I, in turn, want to share it with you. The secret he says is to allow the three fruits to FULLY ripen before making. It will be nice, sweet and oh so refreshing. Great served following half a sandwich at lunch, or as a kind of smoothie at breakfast.
