Hairy Gourd and Carrot Soup is a light, nutritious dish commonly found in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. This soothing soup features a base of hairy gourd—also known as fuzzy melon—paired with carrots, often simmered in a clear broth with optional additions like dried shrimp, goji berries, or lean meat for extra flavor. Hairy gourd is rich in fiber, low in calories, and supports digestion, while carrots bring a boost of beta-carotene for eye health and antioxidants. The soup is naturally hydrating and low in fat, making it an excellent option for a balanced, wholesome meal. Depending on the recipe, sodium levels can vary, so using a low-sodium broth is recommended for a healthier twist. Simple yet flavorful, this nourishing soup is perfect for those seeking a comforting, vegetable-forward dish.
