Octopus, Yam and Chicken Soup

Overview

My mother-in-law raised a lot of beautiful chickens to help me with my second child. Every time I like to chop the chicken wings and legs and steam them with mushrooms. The remaining chicken body is paired with octopus and used to make soup. It can nourish the body and promote lactation at the same time! Octopus is mild in nature, sweet in taste, non-toxic, and can be used as medicine. It has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, astringing and promoting muscle growth. It is a good nourishing product for women after childbirth to replenish deficiency, produce milk, and promote lactation. Chicken is mild in nature, warm in taste, and sweet in taste. It can replenish qi, replenish essence, and add marrow; it is used for fatigue and thinness, lack of food, dizziness and palpitations, postpartum lactation, thirst, edema, etc.
