My friend gave me half of a soft winter melon. There are kelp pork bones and barley at home, which are just the ingredients for the soup I need! Winter melon is very tender, so you only need to remove the seeds, leave the skin, and cut into pieces. The kelp is imported from South Korea. It is very tender and clean. Soaking it for one hour is enough. Because the ginger is too expensive, dried ginger is used. "

1. Ingredients: winter melon, kelp, pork bones, barley, dried ginger.

2. Soak the kelp in clean water until soft, remove the seeds of winter melon and cut into large pieces, soak and drain the barley, and blanch the pig bones in water for later use.

3. Pour the boiled water into a slow cooker, put the pork bones, barley, and dried ginger, cover the pot and set a high heat to cook for one hour.

4. Open the lid and stir slightly.

5. Put the kelp into the pot and cover it again to continue cooking.

7. Add winter melon, cover the pot and continue cooking.

8. After an hour, open the lid, add appropriate amount of Himalayan salt, pepper, and chicken essence, stir well and then turn off the heat.

Tips:
1. Tender wax gourd does not need to be peeled, and it tastes better in a pot with skin.
2. The kelp needs to be cut short after soaking.
3. The boiling water for boiling soup only needs half a pot, because there will be a lot of water in the process of boiling winter melon.
