In the dry autumn climate, it is important to keep hydrated, especially for women who should drink nourishing soups. Here are two recommended beauty and health soups.
Nourishing Beauty - Jazz Soup:
Ingredients:
Half a catty of honeydew melon (choose a white skin and green flesh honeydew, slightly raw, not too ripe), half a catty of fresh conch meat (if fresh is not available, two taels of dried conch will suffice), one catty of old mother chicken, a small piece of ginger.
Method:
It is best to use a traditional and deep clay pot. First, boil water (twice the amount of ingredients), then add ginger slices, conch meat, and chicken pieces. Boil on high heat for half an hour, then simmer on medium heat for two hours. Next, add the diced honeydew melon and simmer on medium heat for another half an hour. At this point, the soup should be reduced to about half to two-fifths of the original amount of water. Finally, add salt according to taste.
