I just want to say, it’s cold, it can’t make up for lamb! So when the weather was cold, I wondered if I should stew a mutton soup for my family to drink, especially if the child grows up and needs nourishment! In addition, Li Shizhen also said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Lamb can warm the middle and nourish the deficiency, nourish the middle and nourish the qi, appetizing and fitness, invigorating the kidney qi, nourishing the gallbladder and improving eyesight, treating asthenia and cold, five fatigue and seven injuries. Many people use hotter ingredients like pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaf, etc. when stewing mutton soup, but I have a special body. As long as I eat these, I basically get a rash all over my body. I have to consult a doctor. Therefore, I usually stew it with some tonic herbs.

Nourishing Lamb Soup

1. Prepare all auxiliary materials, rinse them well, and set aside

2. The mutton has been chopped by the master. Put it in a pot with a lot of cold water, cover the lid and start to cook. After boiling, continue to cook for five minutes

3. Pour the cooked mutton with the soup water into the vegetable bowl, pour an appropriate amount of water until the water temperature is right, wash the mutton, cut the mutton into suitable size, and control the water

4. Boil all the ingredients in a casserole until the water boils, add the lamb, continue to simmer for 20 minutes on high heat, and stew on low heat until the meat is rotten. I usually simmer for more than two hours. The delicious and nourishing mutton soup is out

Tips:
1. In the second step, the lamb must be blanched in cold water, otherwise it will be difficult to remove the strange smell of lamb;
2. This mutton soup contains red dates, candied dates, and dangshen. The soup is slightly sweet, so do not add salt, because the sweet, salty and salty ones are more likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort. If you like to drink sweeter, you can Add some brown sugar, you can also add some sweet wine;
3. If you like to eat wolfberry, you can also add it 20 minutes before it is out of the pot.
