We locals especially like to drink soup, and the ingredients used to make soup are different in different seasons. Autumn tonic is usually to cook some moistening soup that can strengthen the spleen and stomach, which can not only adapt to the season, but also replenish water and nourish without getting angry, which is very beneficial to the body. There are also many soups suitable for autumn tonic. What I want to share here is: Shen Si nourishing (pig bone) soup, which is also a delicious soup that Cantonese people like to drink very much. The "four gods" here refer to Poria cocos, yam, lotus seeds, Euryale ferox seeds (or coix seed), plus pig bones. These ingredients can complement each other when cooked together.
This soup for nourishing the four gods (pig bones) is also very simple. Yam is made of iron stick yam. This yam soup is not easy to cook and tastes better. The pig bones are blanched in advance to remove the smell of blood. In addition, dried lotus seeds or fresh lotus seeds in the season can be used. Just put all the ingredients in a casserole and add water to cook. This soup is very simple, and the ingredients are often used. What's more difficult is that it takes a long time to cook, about 90 minutes. Although it takes a long time, if conditions and time permit, it can be cooked for family members on weekends. In autumn, it is better to drink more "Shen Si Decoction", strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, reduce autumn dryness, and eat more if possible. The following are detailed methods:
