In autumn, the weather is dry and irritable, and the diet should be less spicy and more light. The salty and fresh clam and winter melon soup is a good choice. It is made with the original soup of boiled clams. It tastes delicious without adding additional seasonings except salt. It's great, try it. If you don't have a ball digger at home, you can just cut the winter melon into small pieces. I used the remaining winter melon from the digging winter melon ball to make winter melon tea.
