Soup-making practices of southerners: Take the white gourd ribs soup as an example to prepare materials: old white gourd 1 kg, side ribs 1 kg, carrots 1, a little medlar, dried tangerine peel 1 petal, and a little salt. Production steps: 1, clean the road with clear water, cut into large pieces and carrots. 2. After the ribs are cleaned, soak them in water for half an hour. The purpose of soaking is to drain the blood of the ribs, then cook them in cold water, and turn off the fire when the water boils. After the water is boiled, you will see a lot of floating foam. At this time, fish out the ribs and rinse them with clear water. 4. Put the blanched typesetting bones into the soup pot, add enough water, and then boil the water. 5. After the water is boiled, add wax gourd, carrot and dried tangerine peel, continue to boil over high heat, and turn to low heat for 30 minutes. 6. After simmering for 30 minutes, add medlar and stew for another 30 minutes. 7. The melon ribs soup for clearing heat and relieving summer heat is ready. Extended data:

1. Proper selection of ingredients is the key to making fresh soup. The raw materials for soup are usually animal raw materials, such as chicken, duck, lean meat, pork elbow, pork bone, ham, dried salted duck, fish and so on. Pay attention to the requirements of full flavor, small smell and less blood stains when buying. This kind of food is rich in protein and nucleotides, and the water-soluble nitrogen-containing extract from poultry meat is the main source of soup flavor. 2, the food should be fresh and fresh is not the traditional "meat eats and kills, fish eats and jumps." Fresh now refers to 3-5 hours after the slaughter of fish, livestock and poultry. At this time, various enzymes in fish, livestock or poultry meat decompose protein and fat into amino acids and fatty acids which are easily absorbed by human body, and the taste is also the best. 3, cooking utensils should choose fresh soup, and the best effect is to simmer in an old crock. A crock is clay made of raw materials that are not easy to transfer heat, such as seasonable, feldspar and clay, and fired at high temperature. It has good air permeability and adsorption, and also has the characteristics of uniform heat transfer and slow heat dissipation.
