In winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower, especially when going out in the morning, sometimes it is windy. Not only does it make people’s skin dry and painful, but also feels cold all over the body. This season is the most suitable for boiling some soup. It nourishes our body and replenishes moisture to our skin. Two days ago, my friend went to work in the countryside and bought two local chickens for me. They just used them to cook delicious chicken soup and heal you, me and his delicacy. They are none other than them. Before boiling the chicken soup, we have to blanch the chicken nuggets with warm water. This will not only remove the raw fishy smell of the meat, but also clean the chicken thoroughly. It can also ensure that the stewed chicken soup is clear and not turbid, fresh and fragrant without peculiar smell. It should be noted that blanching chicken soup must use warm water, because if it is boiled in cold water, the nutrition of the chicken will be severely lost. Today, the chicken soup is combined with lotus seeds that nourish the heart and calm the nerves, nourish the spleen and stomach, clear away heat and reduce fire, as well as red dates that nourish qi and blood, help sleep and calm the nerves, nourish the skin and resist aging. A pot of good soup stewed slowly over a low fire, delicious, sweet, nutritious and delicious, warms the family’s stomach, and also treats yourself by the way.
