Spaghetti Squash, Guava and Corn Soup

Why people make this soup

Spaghetti squash (yu chi gua) is a curious vegetable — its bright green exterior and hard shell look very much like a winter melon, but crack it open and the flesh separates into golden, crunchy, noodle-like strands. It is actually a variety of pumpkin, and its low calorie, high-fibre profile has made it popular with people watching their weight or blood sugar.

Nourilo combines it here with guava — a tropical fruit with a well-established reputation in traditional food practice for blood sugar support — and sweet corn, which adds natural sweetness and fibre. Together with lean pork broth, this is a soup that manages to taste satisfying and almost sweet while remaining very light.
