Black-bone chicken and yam soup
Overview
Even in hot weather, you need to replenish your body. You should eat one piece of black-bone chicken every month. As long as the combination is reasonable, it will be fresh and refreshing, warm and tonic without causing internal heat. This black-bone chicken and yam soup does not contain longan, jujube, ginseng, etc., but only stewed fresh chicken and yam. It is warm, nourishing, fragrant and refreshing. If you eat it in summer, choose crispy yam for more freshness. Choose a good black-bone chicken and simmer it slowly over low heat. The rich aroma of the fresh chicken has already filled every corner of your home. When it is served, the aroma hits your face. When you put it in a bowl, the soup is white and crisp. The black and white chicken pieces and yam are dotted with a few green onions. When you enter the mouth, the meat is rotten and chewy, and the cheeks are fragrant...

Ingredients
Steps
-
Clean the black-bone chicken, remove the chicken breasts (there are other uses for them, they will be broken down next time), and chop the rest into large pieces for later use;
-
Pour the black-bone chicken pieces into a pot with cold water and boil over high heat for 2 or 3 minutes to remove the blood foam and impurities;
-
Take out the chicken pieces and rinse them with hot water that is not scalding;
-
Cut the green onion and ginger into large pieces, pat them slightly loosely, and put them into tea bags together with the star anise and set aside;
-
In a separate casserole (I use a cast iron pot), put the chicken pieces in, add enough hot water and ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low heat, cover the pot and simmer until the chicken is cooked (the time depends on the quality of the chicken, good free-range old black-bone chicken can be stewed for about 2 or 3 hours, ordinary meat-free black-bone chicken will be cooked in about the time it opens the pot, and the nourishing effect is very different);
-
After the chicken is basically stewed, process the yam: wash, peel, and cut into hob pieces;
-
Put the yam into the pot, turn to medium heat, and continue to stew until the yam is cooked;
-
Add appropriate amount of salt to taste, turn off the heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
