The soups they drink are not only the usual "boiling soups" (that is, soups boiled for a short period of time), but also soups or stews that are boiled for a very long time (at least three hours or more). This kind of soup is generally with medicinal herbs, a bit like you usually drink outside with medicinal herbs simmered lamb soup, high nutritional value, and has a nourishing and nourishing the face, reduce heat and fire, tonifying the efficacy of blood, so many people like to drink. But boiled out of the material is not big to eat, at most eat inside the meat or bones, because the material after a long time simmering, nutrients are falling in the soup, so the soup is the "treasures".
They usually do not drink much soup outside, because those soups are not authentic soup, but water + MSG, no nutritional value, drink the dry mouth, only mom or wife soup, is the real soup under the effort. They use fresh vegetables and meat, but also dried goods (such as dried scallops, dried oysters, octopus, soft-shelled turtle, etc.) and medicinal herbs (such as ginseng, angelica sinensis, Chinese yam, American ginseng, and various kinds of beans, etc.) to simmer, and the simmering soup is fragrant, fresh, moist, and tonic.
When it comes to the efficacy of those soups, it's really not necessary to say that just drinking the soup can make a person fat, drink to get a rosy complexion, smooth skin, and restore physical strength...It's really a good dietary therapy for those urbanites who often have a loss of appetite. Of course, this also depends on the soup recipe, Hong Kong has a lot of Chinese medicine stores, you can always consult with the Chinese medicine practitioner inside, such as which minor ailments, as long as the recipe for a soup, boiled at home to drink, can be cured, than often eat the side effects of the medicine is really much better.
