There are many variations of [Chinese soups](/categories/soups) which are generally known to be very nutritious. Different soups have different benefits, depending on the ingredients used. For this recipe, winter melon is the main ingredient. It not only helps to cool down the body heat but is also low in calories. Good recipe to try out especially for those who are health conscious! Have this bowl of soup as it is or have it to accompany a typical Southeast Asian meal. Just like any other Chinese soup, you may substitute pork with chicken or anchovies.
