Astragalus is an important medicine for invigorating qi, and red dates are a substance for invigorating blood. The combination of the two is a common recipe for invigorating qi and blood in our country. It's autumn, so I thought of stewing a pot of chicken soup to make up for it! "

Tips:
The chicken soup is best to be simmered in a casserole with medium and low heat. Mine is a 3-year-old hen, so I used an electric pressure cooker to shorten the cooking time.
