Winter Melon Tomato Mushroom Soup

This comforting Winter Melon Soup is a deliciously light yet flavorful dish that combines the natural sweetness of winter melon and tomatoes with the umami richness of dried shrimp, wood ears, and bamboo shoots.

The result is a nourishing, slightly tangy soup with a satisfying mix of textures—creamy winter melon, juicy tomatoes, and chewy wood ears. Perfect for a wholesome meal, this soup is easy to prepare and packed with nutrients. The subtle brininess from the shrimp and bamboo shoots balances beautifully with the fresh vegetables, while a touch of salt and chicken broth powder elevates the flavors.
