When browsing the vegetable market, I saw that the loofah was very fresh, and hadn’t eaten it for a long time, So I used it to pair with clams to make a Clam and loofah soup.
Luffa is known as “beauty water” and is often consumed for its moisturizing, whitening, brain strengthening, blood circulation, detoxification, and swelling-reducing effects.
Clam and loofah soup is an absolutely nutritious and healthy dish. This soup is easy to make and takes a short cooking time, but when combined, it does taste delicious.

It looks good to drink, especially suitable for post-holiday fat clearing and weight loss.
