Clear vegetable soup - a combination of moringa leaves and unripe papaya

Hello hivers friends, how are you? The weather in my area is now often rainy, usually this condition often occurs in November and December. With weather like this, many people experience unhealthy conditions due to these factors. Therefore, we need to choose healthy foods so that our immune system is maintained. Such as consuming vegetables. I will recommend one of the vegetables that has various benefits if we consume it, namely moringa leaves.

Moringa leaves or Moringa oleivera are tropical plants that have many health benefits. Did you know, this plant is rich in important nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, magnesium and potassium. With its abundant nutritional composition, moringa leaves are often used in herbal medicine to support overall health.

Among the other most famous miracles of moringa leaves is its ability to ward off free radicals. Not only that, usually in rural areas like the area where I live, moringa leaves are used as a mixture of sour vegetables. Like in my area, katuk leaves and moringa leaves are often cooked as clear vegetables for people who have just given birth because they can increase breast milk. In the past, after I gave birth, my mother often made it for me. I really felt the benefits. Not only that, clear moringa leaf soup is very suitable for people who are sick or not well because it has natural healing functions such as accelerating wound healing. And several other benefits.

This time I cooked moringa leaves by combining them with unripe papaya for a more delicious taste, because unripe papaya will give a natural sweet taste to the vegetable soup that we will cook. In addition, the spices that I will use will also give a slightly different taste from clear vegetables in general. I added a very typical kitchen spice in my area, namely sunti acid (dried starfruit) for a sour sensation that will tempt our tongue to eat it. And also don't forget for the fragrant and fresh aroma of the soup I will add kaffir lime leaves, hmm I really like the aroma. Come on friends, let's see the ingredients and how to make it below.

This clear moringa leaf vegetable soup is really fresh, the moringa leaves don't smell at all even though they smell when they are raw. For me, this clear version of the soup is suitable to be eaten at lunch, it tastes more delicious. Isn't that right! Hehe

Oh yeah, you can also combine moringa leaves with other vegetables such as corn, young bananas, banana hearts, carrots and others. That's all for today, Greetings from Aceh 🙏😊
