Polygonatum odoratum has the effects of nourishing yin, moisturizing dryness, clearing away heat, promoting body fluid, and relieving cough. It can be used as a nourishing medicine to treat fever and yin, deficiency-heat dry cough, heart disease, diabetes, tuberculosis and other diseases. It can also be used as high-grade nourishing food, delicacy and beverage.
It is rich in protein, and its protein content is more than that of duck and goose; silky chicken is also rich in melanin, which can play a role in the proliferation of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the human body after being used as medicine. Therefore, the black-bone chicken has been regarded as the top nourishing product since ancient times. It can improve physiological function, delay aging, strengthen muscles and bones, and have obvious effects on preventing and treating osteoporosis, rickets, and anemia.
Usually staying up all night and blowing air conditioning inevitably lack of physical fitness. So it’s best to make a simple and delicious medicated soup to treat your lower body when you have time, and cherish yourself~

Polygonatum Black Chicken Soup

1. This is half a black-bone chicken just bought at the vegetable market

2. Boil half a pot of boiling water

3. Pour in about 2 teaspoons and 3 slices of ginger, and cook for a minute.

4. Add black-bone chicken. Cook on high heat for about 8-10 minutes. Boil the blood and remove the foam.

5. Peel the dried longan and remove the core by the way, leaving only the longan flesh.

6. Put the black-bone chicken boiled to remove the blood into the casserole. Add all the other ingredients, longan meat, polygonatum odoratum, wolfberry, red dates. Wash twice and pour in appropriate amount of water. Start cooking. I used the automatic function to cook for more than five hours (or it can be boiled on a high fire and then turned to a low fire for about two hours). The soup will be ready after waking up. After salting, you can turn off the heat.
