Dried Shrimp and Winter Melon Soup

This comforting Winter Melon and Dried Scallop Soup is a luxurious yet wholesome dish that highlights the delicate sweetness of winter melon paired with the umami richness of dried scallops. The winter melon is stir-fried until golden, then simmered with rehydrated scallops, ginger, and a splash of white wine for depth of flavor. As the broth thickens and turns creamy, the melon becomes tender and translucent, absorbing the savory essence of the scallops. A final touch of wolfberries adds a subtle sweetness and vibrant color, while a hint of chicken powder enhances the natural savoriness. Perfect for warming up on chilly days, this nourishing soup is both elegant and deeply satisfying, making it a standout dish for any meal.
