Wintermelon Soup

Probably the best soup I've ever made. It is delicate yet flavourful at the same time.

Wintermelon Soup

Ingredients:
1 medium wintermelon
1 fresh coconut
200g smoked duck breast
500 ml chicken stock
1.5 litres water

Method:

Cut across top and bottom of wintermelon and peel off skin using a vegetable peeler. Crack open coconut, collect juice and scrap out the meat. Slice duck breast into 0.5cm thickness. In a large pot, bring water, stock and coconut juice to boil. Carefully add in wintermelon and half of duck breast. Simmer for 1 hour. Add coconut meat and remainder of duck breast into the inside of wintermelon and simmer for another 30 mins. Enjoy!
