Clam and winter melon soup recipe [View all]

[Saviolo]

This week's recipe is an adaptation of a recipe a Taiwanese friend of ours taught us about. He grew up eating something similar to this, and my hubby made a couple of tweaks for his own tastes. It's a delicious and very light soup with bright ginger notes.

Winter melon should be easy to find if you have an Asian grocery store nearby. It has a very mild flavor and tends to pick up the flavor of whatever you're cooking it in. Also, make sure to give your clams a little bit of a scrub before you toss them in the pot, or you may end up with grit at the bottom of your soup!
