A bowl of soup before meals, Chinese New Year soup is definitely indispensable. As a Chinese New Year soup, I think Chinese yam chicken soup is very suitable. The chicken soup is very delicious whether it is drunk directly or used for cooking. For Chinese yam, I really recommend it, especially Chinese yam, an authentic ingredient, which has a very good effect on strengthening the spleen and stomach. Whether the soup is good or not, I think two points are very important:

First, the ingredients are good, which is very important. To cook chicken soup, you need good ingredients to cook the original soup;

second, don't add those complicated seasonings to the chicken soup, just add some ginger slices, but it is very good to add one thing, that is, sweet wine, also called glutinous rice wine or fermented grains, which is a natural condiment with a faint bouquet and a slight sweetness, which can effectively remove fishy smell and increase freshness.

Let's take a look at the specific methods.

Ingredients

An old hen, 4g of yam, appropriate amount of dried mushrooms, a piece of ginger, 1g of liqueur, appropriate amount of salt, a handful of medlar and appropriate amount of chopped green onion

Production steps

1. Prepare raw materials.

2. The mushrooms are soaked in advance.

3. Cut the old hen into pieces.

4. Boil the water in the pot, add the old hen, and then take it out for later use.

5. Add enough water to another pot, add soaked and cleaned mushrooms and ginger slices, and bring to a boil over high fire.

6. Add the chicken pieces, bring them to a boil again, then turn to a low heat, cover the pot and simmer for two hours.

7. add yam and cook for another half an hour.

8. Add liqueur, Lycium barbarum and proper amount of salt, and cook for another two or three minutes.

9. Sprinkle chopped green onion and finish.

Tips

First, fermented sweet wine, also known as fermented glutinous rice, can be made by itself and sold in supermarkets. Its alcohol content is very low, and it is diluted and volatilized after being added to the soup, so don't worry too much about the alcohol problem. If pregnant women and children under three years old eat it, they can eat it without adding it or in small quantities for the sake of caution.

Second, old hens usually need to cook for a long time, but the soup cooked for a long time tastes very good, so the water must be added at one time;

Third, you can put more yam as a staple food, but don't put too much mushrooms.
