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!

Ingredients

1/2 Chickens
8 Red Dates
10g Astragalus
a little Wolfberry
1 tablespoon Cooking Wine
a little Salt
3 slices Sliced Ginger
1 Shallot

Astragalus and Red Date Chicken Soup

1. Wash half a local chicken and cut into small pieces

2. Put the ginger slices and green onions into the pot to make water

3. After the chicken is discolored, you can remove the blood and rinse with water

4. Put it in the pot again, add some water and boil it, add some cooking wine

5. Then add the washed astragalus

6. Add the washed red dates

7. Boil again

8. Because mine is an old hen, I switch to an electric pressure cooker and press it for 25 minutes

9. Pour the pressed chicken soup back into the casserole and cook for 30 minutes on medium and low heat, until the chicken is cooked and add some wolfberries

10. Finally add some salt to taste

11. You can turn off the heat and simmer for a while, and put it in a bowl

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.
