Winter Melon Soup

This is a simple bowl of winter melon soup. To me, most of the Chinese style soups are quite easy to make. The key ingredient is the broth. With good quality chicken, pork or beef stock, you can add any kind of meat, seafood or vegetable of your choice. Then you will definitely have a fantastic bowl of soup.
