It does not have the side effects of ordinary antiviral drugs and does not cause pregnant women to sweat a lot.

Before making chicken soup, some people think that they must blanch the chicken to remove the blood so that there will be no fishy smell when drinking the soup. However, some people think that there is no need to blanch the chicken. They only need to clean it before making soup, and then just skim off the foam when making soup.
In fact, it all makes sense, just use the method you usually use. If the soup is nutritious and tastes good, then this soup will be very successful. Friends who like to drink chicken soup can try the chicken soup made from Houttuynia cordata. It tastes very good.
Ingredients needed to prepare: 300 grams of Zheer root, 7 red dates, a chicken carcass, salt, and baking soda.
Step 1: First cut the ear root into small pieces; pat the red dates flat and wash the chicken skeleton. Then put the root of the folded ear into the water, add a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of baking soda, stir it and soak it for 20 minutes, then clean it.
A mixture of salt and baking soda can clean impurities on wild vegetables and remove bacteria.
Step 2: Blanch the chicken carcass and add cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. I bought this chicken carcass at the market. I didn’t know what kind of chicken it was or how fresh it was, so I blanch it in water to remove the fishy smell, remove impurities from the chicken carcass, and then use it to make soup.
Step 3: Add appropriate amount of water to the clay pot, add red dates and blanched chicken. It is best to use a clay pot for soup, as it can preserve the deliciousness of the soup to the maximum extent. Then add the washed folded ear roots.
Step 4: Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and continue cooking for 30 minutes. There is no need to remove the core of red dates. You can mix it with Zheer roots to neutralize the coolness. Clean the root of the ear with salt and baking soda mixed with water.
