Mushroom Chicken Soup
1.
Wash the chicken and cut it into larger pieces. We stewed it for a long time. If it is too small, the chicken will fall apart. You can also put the whole chicken in and stew directly. The disadvantage is that it is more troublesome to eat meat, so it is not as convenient to cut. It is best to use live chickens that are killed first. The meat is tender and clean.
2.
Cut green onion into sections, slice ginger, aniseed and set aside
3.
Dried shiitake mushrooms are soaked in warm water, and it is best to use dried shiitake mushrooms for stewing, which has better fragrance and nutrition. Fresh shiitake mushrooms will have a faint taste, and it's relatively strong. I have also used fresh shiitake mushrooms before stewing, which is far inferior to dried shiitake mushrooms.
4.
Coriander and garlic, minced and set aside
5.
Add enough water to the casserole at one time, cool the chicken under the water, and then put the green onion and ginger aniseed into the casserole and heat
6.
Bring to a high heat, and then use a small colander to remove the dirty froth. You can also water the chicken beforehand, then wash it and put it in the casserole, but this way, the meat will shrink when it gets cold when it is washed. This is not the case. Fresh and tender. The chicken that can be killed does not have a lot of impurities in the meat itself, so it can be easily cleaned.
7.
Until the boiling water is completely white, put in the mushrooms, turn off the heat after the soup boils again, cover the pot and simmer for 1-2 hours, and simmer for at least 1 and a half hours.
8.
When the chicken soup is simmered by one-third, sprinkle salt and open the fire for 10 minutes. The soup is to drink the taste of the ingredients itself. It is best not to add too much seasoning, which will spoil the taste of the soup and is not fresh enough.
9.
With a piece of meat and soup, sprinkle some coriander and garlic according to your liking, and start enjoying!
Tips:
Remember that the soup itself takes a long time, so it must be enough time
Before, make sure to boil the soup for about 20 minutes on high fire, and then simmer slowly on low fire.
