    Made again this time using homemade crab stock from Dungeness crab shells. Instead of using ham, added premade shrimp wonton and lots of cut up pea sprouts added at the last minute. Winter melon pieces were silky smooth with beautiful green hue because I did not completely remove skin to retain the the color of lime green. Delicious and very satisfying.

    Did not have exact ingredients but had the most important ingredient to make this which is winter melon. Had to use 1/3 homemade turkey stock from the freezer and 2/3 stock made from Shantun paste (Japanese refrigerated paste for making anything Chinese) in place of chicken stock. Added 1 T sake as well. For limited number of ingredients, this is an excellent soup. The only negative was the size of wintermelon slices. Just saying 1/2 in slice makes the slices too big to eat with spoon. Wish the slices were smaller or better yet cubed. The use of white pepper instead of black pepper is important for taste here.
