Peel and deseed the papaya, then cut it into large chunks. Wash the bottle gourd, trim off the ends, and cut it into thick slices. Wash the chayote, halve it, remove the seed, and set all the prepared gourds aside.

Prepare the corn silk

Rinse the corn silk several times to thoroughly wash away any sand and impurities, then drain well and set aside.

Prepare the pork ribs

Wash the pork ribs, blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes, then rinse clean and set aside.

Prepare the lily bulbs and honey dates

Rinse the lily bulbs and honey dates in clean water and set aside.

Simmer the soup
