My family often makes soup, and the most common one is chicken soup. Stewed chicken with mushrooms is a classic dish. The combination of the two is the combination of delicious food and fresh food. Mushrooms are rich in flavor and chicken is sweet and delicious. When they are used together to make soup, the soup tastes sweet and delicious. From a nutritional point of view, chicken is rich in protein, which is the kind that you can eat without getting fat. Mushrooms contain a variety of trace elements beneficial to the human body, and also have health-preserving effects on the human body. This soup tastes light and fresh, and it won't get tired of cooking it several times after learning it.

Share with you the method of cooking stewed chicken with mushrooms at home.

Stewed chicken with mushrooms

Ingredients: 1 fresh chicken, preferably local chicken, weighing less than 2-3 kg, little hen, small one without meat, big one without heavy oil.

Materials: Lentinus edodes 100g, Polygonatum sibiricum 20g, Dendrobium nobile 10g, Lycium barbarum L.

Seasoning: salt, pepper, a little pepper.

Polygonatum sibiricum is especially recommended here. I have tried many kinds of ingredients and herbs, such as astragalus, jujube, lotus seeds and lilies. Although you can cook chicken soup, Polygonatum sibiricum is more suitable in terms of soup color and taste. Adding Polygonatum can make the soup more fresh and sweet, and the soup will not have medicinal taste. Polygonatum sibiricum has obvious effect of invigorating qi and mild property, which is suitable for all seasons.

The picture shows dried Polygonatum odoratum tablets, which can be bought in general Chinese medicine shops or soup shops. Dendrobium in this prescription can be used or not. Dendrobium is rich in trace elements and has obvious plant gum. If you peel off fresh Dendrobium, you will know that the components in the stem of Dendrobium are almost gelatinous. Adding it to the soup can increase the gum content and nutritional components and improve the health care effect of the soup.

Exercise:

1, it's best to buy live chickens now and let the store slaughter them on the spot and cut them into pieces. This can save a lot of troublesome steps. Especially for women. After returning home, wash the chicken pieces several times with clear water, then boil water in the pot, blanch the chicken pieces with clear water once, and wash away the blood foam.

2. Soak Lentinus edodes, Polygonatum sibiricum and Dendrobium candidum separately (if it is fresh Dendrobium candidum, you don't need to soak it. Knock it a few times with a rolling pin to crack the epidermis and release the nutrients inside). Wash your hair after soaking. If you want to look good, you can cross the mushroom hat. Sure, it doesn't matter if you don't cut it.

3, ginger peeled and washed, patted with the back of a knife, can help the taste to be released better, and has a good deodorization effect on chicken.

4, casserole water, add chicken pieces, ginger pieces, and various medicinal materials. After the fire boils, skim off the floating foam and turn to low heat for slow stew.

5. After two hours, add pepper and pepper. Don't add this if you don't like it. Adding pepper to the soup can remove the fishy smell and enhance the fragrance. Adding pepper has the effect of warming the stomach.

6, continue to cook, usually two or three hours, it doesn't matter if you cook for a while. Add a little medlar decoration before cooking.

Taste: This soup tastes sweet and delicious, clear and transparent. Mushrooms are full of soup, soft and delicious. Chicken is very delicious when cooked. Eating soup and meat is delicious and healthy.

Summary of stewed chicken with mushrooms

1, material: the material of this soup can be matched by yourself, and the main ingredients can be chicken and mushrooms. The easiest way is to use only these two ingredients. I have added some medicinal materials here, which are better from the perspective of health preservation. In addition, there is another way to add fresh bamboo shoots, which is also very fresh and sweet.

2, practice: If you want to ensure the clarity of the soup, it is recommended not to add too many ingredients. Jujube, lotus seeds and lotus roots will darken the soup. In addition, chicken blood bubbles must be washed clean. In the process of cooking soup, it is also necessary to constantly skim off the foam. This will make the soup clearer.

3, plate: If you want to look good, it is recommended to match meat, chicken rack, chicken feet, chicken neck and the like. When cooking soup, you can cook it together. The soup is more delicious. But when you serve the table, you can fish out the part of the chicken that is not good-looking or delicious.

This soup itself has the fragrance of mushrooms and the delicious smell of chicken. It is recommended not to add too much seasoning. It's best to keep the original flavor.
