Chinese Old Melon Soup with Barley 老黄瓜薏米汤

One of the soup I make quite often. The soup is rather sweet and my kids who don't drink barley water like this too.

Ingredients:

• 2 Chicken Breast Meat


• 1 medium Chinese Old Melon


• 100g Chinese Barley, washed


• 6 Dried Dates


• 1.5 litre Water


• Salt to taste

How to do it:

1. Blanch chicken breast meat to remove the scum.


2. Put all ingredients excluding salt in a pot of water.


3. Bring to a boil and reduce a simmer.


4. Remove any scum that surface.


5. Simmer for 3 hours.


6. Add salt to taste.


7. Serve.
