WINTER MELON SOUP WITH DRIED SCALLOPS AND LOTUS SEEDS




This soup is suitable to consume in such hot weather.  It is a refreshing soup good for cooling the body and strengthening the spleen and the stomach.

Boil the melon with the skin on as it has the effect of promoting diuresis and reducing water retention.

Simmer in chicken stock with dried scallops, winter melon, dried chinese mushrooms and lotus seeds for 2 hours.  Season with salt and ginger.
