Aromatic scallions and ginger add depth, and a hint of pepper brings a subtle warmth. Quick and easy to prepare, this soup is perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or an elegant starter. The natural sweetness of the winter melon pairs beautifully with the briny scallops, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Ready in minutes, this dish is as nutritious as it is delicious—low in calories but rich in taste. Garnish with fresh scallions for a vibrant finish!
