The correct way to make old hen soup is as follows:

Preparation materials: one fresh old hen, 2-3 pounds, 2-3 morels, 2-3 dried mushrooms A handful of tea tree mushrooms, a few pieces of Polygonatum odorifera, a small handful of red lotus seeds, a few lily petals and a handful of wolfberry.

1. Clean the old hen and chop it into pieces. The old hen has a long growth cycle and its meat is firm, so its nutrients can only be extracted by slow cooking, while the chicken meat is tender and more suitable for frying.

2. Put the chopped chicken into a pot with cold water, add a few slices of ginger, bring to a boil and blanch it over high heat.

3. Take it out two minutes after the water boils, rinse it under running water, rinse away the scum, and then rinse it with clean water.

4. Prepare a casserole or stew pot, put the chicken in the casserole, and other ingredients including morels, dried shiitake mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, Polygonatum odorifera, red lotus seeds, and lilies, and then pour in enough of clean water, be sure to pour enough water.

5. Cover the lid, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for 2 hours.

6. When making soup, we wash the wolfberry.

7. After two hours, open the lid, put in the washed wolfberries, and skim off the oil on the chicken soup, because drinking too much oil in the soup will increase fat and affect the absorption of nutrients.

8. Then cover the lid and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, open the lid, add an appropriate amount of salt, and our delicious old hen soup is ready.
