Hairy Melon, Tofu & Fresh Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

Sometimes the best food therapy is the simplest. When fresh small sea fish is first pan-fried until golden before being simmered, it releases collagen and fat that turn the broth a beautiful milky white — rich, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. The combination of fresh fish for protein and calcium, tofu for plant-based calcium and protein, and hairy melon for its gentle, spleen-supporting sweetness makes this a remarkably nutritious soup with minimal preparation. It is one of Nourilo’s top recommendations for anyone recovering from an operation, preparing for or recovering from childbirth, or simply wanting a wholesome family meal.
