Winter Melon Noodle Soup For Your Health

I got this spiral veggie slicer/peeler that I love to use.  My love for this device comes close to how much I love our awesome Vitamix blender.  It not only churns my carrots, daikons and zucchinis into noodles, but it can also spin my winter melons into noodles too. Winter melons are known for being a great detoxifier. It is great for someone watching their diet or wanting to lose weight.  It also aids in clearing heat from the body.  So, I make this soup when someone has a cold in the house and gets jaded of the good old chicken noodle soup.  This is also a great comfort soup for me as well because my mother used to make this for me when I was growing up. 

Ingredients:
one large or two medium size winter melon sliced into noodles
8 quart pot filled with 3/4 water for boiling
1 can of chicken broth
1 lb of pork of beef bones depending what you like (pre-boil the bones, drain and set aside)
1/2 lb of thinly sliced pork meat
1/2 lb of thinly sliced chicken breast meat
1-2 tsp of salt
1 package of tofu sliced into small cubes
1 small handful of goji/wolfberries (pictures and use on older post)
small cup of chop spring onion
2 small slices of fresh ginger

Preparation:
When water boils, add the prepared bones, goji, pork, chicken, chicken broth and ginger into the pot and boil for ten minutes or so.  Then add winter melon, and tofu; and let it boil for another ten minutes. Flavor with green onion and salt till you are satisfied with the taste.
