Winter Melon Soup

Again, with some effort done, I managed to accomplished this, Winter Melon Soup.

Winter melons are a good source of vitamin C and potassium. Its high water content can help people like me, who always drink not enough water to keep hydrated. And, since it is relatively low in calories, it is most suitable for people who is on diet. -> Which is me, especially later KH treating us to dine at Kushin-bo. Heehee..

So, see below for the recipe.

Half winter melon, remove seeds, keeping skin intact
1 carrot, cut into pieces
5-6 spare ribs, blanched
About 1 litre of water
Pinch of salt to taste

Since winter melon taste is almost tasteless, I added the following for more enhanced taste.

By choice: -

100g dried scallops
Few pieces of dried lily bulb
10 pieces of red dates
200g yellow beans

Method: -

1. Put the pot of water to boil.
2. Rinse the spare ribs at least 2 times with boiling water, follow by cold water.
3. Add in all ingredients then simmer for at least 1 hour but not more than 4 hours.

Do not boil too long as the winter melon will be too soft.

Yummy soup ready to serve. I just love soups.
