Medicine repair is not as good as food therapy! A bowl of deliciously sweet lotus root chicken soup will help you soothe your throat and clear your cough, suitable for adults and children alike.
Recently the weather has been fluctuating between warm and cold and humid, and I wake up every morning with a dry throat. Of course, I need to make a nourishing drink to moisturize my throat.
My mother told me that eating lotus root can clear the throat and soothe the throat. I just happened to have some lotus root at home, plus chicken, red dates, and goji berries, which are all simmered together. This not only helps fight allergies but also takes care of the eyes. Plus, the chicken is delicious, warm and comforting, and suitable for adults and children alike.
Okay, now let's share the recipe for lotus root chicken soup. Please try it after reading.
Ingredients: 4 servings
Chicken 630g, Lotus Root 270g, Red Dates 50g, Goji Berries 20g, Old Ginger 2 slices, Water 1.44 liters
Instructions:
Put the chicken in a pot, add water to blanch it, and then remove it and rinse it.
Place the chicken, lotus root, red dates, and old ginger in a pot, pour in 1.44 liters of water.
Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for one hour.
After the chicken is cooked and tender, add the goji berries and simmer for two minutes.
Add a little salt to taste, and then serve.
You don't need to add any seasonings; the broth is naturally delicious. It's great to drink on its own or with noodles or rice. Let's get started!
Tips:
If you're worried about heat, I suggest removing the seeds from the red dates. It's very easy to remove the seeds from the red dates; you can easily handle it in one step. Use a hard rod to pierce the bottom of the red date, gently apply a little force and push slightly.
