hello this looks delicious! id love to make this however i have a question please: after questioning what wolfberries were and discovering they are simply gojiberries, to me this would seem the soup is going to have a sweet taste! if i like can i leave out the seemingly-to-me sweet dates and the berries and do a simple pork bone and watercress soup? i would flavor with salt only . . if this soup is not sweet at all please tell me and i will go ahead and try anyways!
is this something i could accomplish with tasty results, a simple pork bone and watercress soup? your thoughts please :)
