Dried Conch, Chicken Feet and Muskmelon Soup

Why people make this soup

Muskmelon (also called sweet melon or xiang gua) is clean and sweet, a little like honeydew, with a faint bitterness near the stem. That bitter part is interesting: traditionally the melon stem is associated with supporting the liver and easing the burden of a sluggish liver. With its skin and flesh rich in vitamins and minerals, the melon makes a refreshing soup that Nourilo pairs with conch, chicken feet and pork for liver care and a brighter complexion.
