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. "

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.
