The melons should be nice and ripe to overripe for this recipe! Blend the honeydew melons with the lime juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a blender until smooth, then cover and refrigerate. Blend the cantaloupe melons with the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a blender until smooth, then cover and refrigerate. Serve: Pour both melon purees simultaneously into deep bowls to create a two-toned soup. Place a dollop of yogurt or mascarpone in the center of the bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve very cold!
