Description

This anise melon velouté is a refreshing and original appetizer, perfect for hot summer days. I love preparing this soup when the melons are at their peak, because their flavor is incomparable. Green anise brings a subtle and fragrant touch that goes wonderfully with the sweetness of the melon. The preparation is simple and quick with the Thermomix®, and the result is always a success. Feel free to add a few fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness. This velouté is ideal for a summer brunch or a cocktail party.
