Pineapple Bitter Gourd Chicken Soup
Pineapple Bitter Gourd Chicken Soup is a delightful and unique blend of sweet, savory, and bitter flavors. This nourishing soup combines the tropical sweetness of fresh pineapple with the slight bitterness of bitter gourd, balanced by tender, bone-in chicken pieces.
