Q:
1, pumpkin can be stewed with skin. Don't peel the pumpkin to prevent it from melting in the soup after a long stew. Be sure to clean the pumpkin skin before operation.
2. After the chicken leg is cut into pieces, you must first simmer the bleeding foam, so that the stewed chicken soup does not affect the appearance and looks clearer and more appetizing.
3, because the pumpkin itself is sweet, so when you put salt, you should grasp the amount, and it is best to put it according to your personal preference. If you like sweet, put less salt; if you want salty, put more salt.
