Braised clams and lion head
Overview
Regarding the ingredients of this soup, it is very homely. On weekdays, I mostly just have clam and loofah soup, or meatball mushroom soup. On weekends, I try to combine the two, adding freshness to make the home-cooked soup different. This soup looks light but is thick and delicious. It is a refreshing soup suitable for summer.
