Angelica Ginger Mutton Soup

Overview

I don’t know when it became popular to drink mutton soup on the Winter Solstice. On this day every year, mutton and related foods become best-sellers. Regarding mutton soup, there is a very famous angelica and ginger mutton soup. It seems to be Zhang Zhongjing’s recipe? However, the mutton soup I drank today is slightly different from the classic mutton soup. It has Codonopsis pilosula added. It has the functions of nourishing blood and replenishing qi, warming the meridians and dispelling cold. The mutton in the soup contains protein, fat, phosphorus, iron, calcium, vitamins, cholesterol and other ingredients; it is sweet and warm in nature, can nourish blood and qi, warm menstruation and kidneys, and can cure fatigue and weight loss if taken regularly. Angelica sinensis is an important blood-tonifying medicine. It can nourish blood and nourish the liver, activate blood circulation and stimulate menstruation. It can also moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation. It is good at treating blood deficiency and cold stagnation. Codonopsis pilosula nourishes qi and strengthens the spleen, so that the spleen can be strengthened and transformed into yin and blood. When combined with Angelica sinensis, both qi and blood can be replenished. Ginger warms the meridians and dispels cold, strengthens the stomach and harmonizes the stomach, and removes the mutton smell. When combined into a soup, it has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, warming the meridians, dispelling cold and relieving pain. Although this soup is good, not everyone can drink it. People with blood stasis and heat should not eat it.
