Chicken soup tastes delicious, so some people think that all the nutrients in chicken are in chicken soup, so they often drink chicken soup instead of eating chicken. This kind of practice is unscientific.

When stewing chicken, some water-soluble substances such as creatine, creatinine, purine base, free amino acids, water-soluble vitamins and some inorganic salts in the meat are also dissolved in the soup, so the nutrition of chicken soup is very high.

However, most of the protein in chicken is solidified and denatured when heated, and it is not lost to the soup. Some nutrients such as vitamins and inorganic salts remain in chicken without leaching. The purpose of supplementary nutrition should be to supplement protein.

Protein in chicken is a kind of high-quality protein, its amino acid composition is very close to that of human body, and its absorption rate is high, so it is a good tonic.

Therefore, boiled chicken should be eaten with soup and meat.
