I want to share with you some recipes of soup that I often give to the elderly, hoping to give you some inspiration and let our parents enjoy every meal more healthily and exquisitely in their daily lives.
1. Old fire stewed pigeon soup:
In my hometown of Guangdong, the old fire stewed pigeon soup is a respected soup, especially suitable for the elderly.
Through my own personal experience, I deeply realized the health wisdom contained in this soup.
Some time ago, I decided to stew a bowl of nourishing pigeon soup for my elderly grandfather with an old fire to help him stay healthy. I chose fresh pigeon meat and a series of Chinese herbal medicines as ingredients.
In the process of stewing, I deliberately adopted the traditional old fire stewing method to let the soup slowly penetrate and merge.
After stewing for several hours, the air was filled with the thick smell of pigeon meat. I took a bite, and the pigeon meat has become very tender and smooth, and it melts in the mouth.
What makes me even more gratified is that after drinking a bowl, Grandpa repeatedly praised the delicious soup. He told me that he felt refreshed and his appetite increased greatly after drinking this old fire stewed pigeon soup.
2. Crucian carp old fire soup:
Not long ago, I cooked a pot of crucian carp soup for my grandmother to help her keep healthy and energetic.
I chose fresh crucian carp, mixed with some Chinese herbal medicines and nourishing materials, such as yam, medlar and red dates.
In the process of stewing, I deliberately adopted the traditional old fire stewing method to let the soup slowly penetrate and merge.
After several hours of stewing, the crucian carp became tender and smooth, and the nutrition in the soup was fully released.
I tasted it myself and felt the richness and delicacy of the soup. What moved me even more was that my grandmother said that after drinking a bowl, my appetite was much better and my whole spirit was much better.
This cooking experience made me more deeply realize the value of crucian carp old fire soup as a soup suitable for the elderly.
Traditional stewing methods can fully dissolve protein and nutrients in fish into soup, providing rich nutrition for the elderly.
With the addition of Chinese herbal medicines, the soup has more medicinal and dietary effects, which is helpful to regulate the body and strengthen the physique.
3. Flower glue stewed chicken soup:
Stewed chicken with donkey-hide gelatin is a highly regarded nourishing product, especially suitable for the elderly.
I chose high-quality donkey-hide gelatin and fresh chicken, and prepared some Chinese herbal medicines and nourishing materials, such as medlar, yam and codonopsis pilosula.
I adopted the method of slow stew. I put all the ingredients in a saucepan and stew them slowly.
After several hours of stewing, the gelatin gradually melted and the chicken became tender and juicy.
The soup is full of rich chicken flavor and nourishing taste of donkey-hide gelatin, which makes people drool.
I tasted it myself and felt the warmth and taste of the soup. What makes me more gratified is that after drinking a bowl, grandpa said that he was refreshed and his physical strength was much better.
The value of donkey-hide gelatin stewed chicken as a soup suitable for the elderly. Flower glue is rich in collagen, which helps to nourish joints and skin, and is very beneficial to bone health and skin elasticity of the elderly.
At the same time, the addition of Chinese herbal medicine gives the soup more medicinal and dietary effects, which is helpful to nourish the body and enhance immunity.
4. Longan meat lotus seed soup:
In my mind, longan meat lotus seed soup is a representative of traditional taste and family warmth, especially at the table of the elderly, which carries more meaning and emotion.
Once, I personally cooked a bowl of longan meat lotus seed soup for my grandmother, and that experience is still vivid in my mind.
On a quiet afternoon, I began to prepare this nourishing soup.
I chose full longan meat and white lotus seeds. In order to better stimulate the nutrition of ingredients, I chose slow stew.
In the process of stewing, I carefully pay attention to the heat, so that the soup gradually thickens and gives off a strong aroma.
When I came to grandma with a bowl of hot longan meat lotus seed soup, she took it with a big smile and blew it gently.
She told me that the taste of this soup reminded her of the homely taste when she was a child, and that kind of warmth and touch made me feel very gratified.
The importance of longan meat lotus seed soup as a soup suitable for the elderly.
Among them, longan meat is rich in amino acids and vitamins, which has a positive effect on improving immunity and resistance.
Lotus seeds, on the other hand, have the effects of nourishing kidney and benefiting qi, calming the nerves and calming the mind, which is beneficial to the physical health and mental health of the elderly.
Beibei has something to say:
Guangdong decoction is closely related to the concept of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine. We can stew delicious food that nourishes the body and soul according to different ingredients and herbs.
For elderly parents, these soups are the best choice for nourishing the body and expressing love. Let's stew the soup with our heart and care for our dearest people with love.
