Any old soup is accumulated over time, and it all starts from the first pot Soup comes, and home-made soup is no exception. The first pot of soup is the soup for stewing chicken, ribs or pork. In addition to the main ingredients, you should also add Sichuan peppercorns, aniseed, pepper, cinnamon, amomum villosum, beans, cloves, tangerine peel, grass fruits, cumin, and kaempferol. , indigo, cinnamon, fresh ginger, salt, sugar and other seasonings. It is best not to add onions, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and other seasonings to facilitate the preservation of the soup. The varieties of the above-mentioned seasonings can be determined according to market conditions, and not all of them are indispensable, but commonly used seasonings should account for more than half. The amount of seasoning depends on the amount of main ingredients, which is the same as general stew ingredients. Seasonings that are difficult to pick out should be wrapped in gauze. Cut the main ingredients into small pieces, wash them, put them into the pot, add seasonings, and add water (slightly more than the normal amount). After the main ingredients are cooked, take out the meat and eat it. Remove the seasonings and decant the resulting soup. He is the "ancestor" of "Laotang".
