Mutton soup winter nourishing gourmet

It's freezing in winter, so it's estimated that few of us in the northwest can stand the temptation of a bowl of mutton soup. Warm mutton is especially suitable for eating in winter, which can warm yang and dispel cold, replenish qi and blood, and strengthen the body. So how to make mutton soup with attractive aroma?

Ingredients: mutton 500g, carrot 1, yam 1, ginger 1, onion 1, a little coriander and a proper amount of salt.

Production method:

1. Wash all ingredients, cut mutton, carrot and yam, cut onion into small pieces and slice ginger;

2. Blanch the mutton with cold water, put ginger slices to remove fishy smell when blanching, and then rinse the blanched mutton with clear water to remove blood;

3. Put the cooked mutton into the soup pot, add water to the mutton (you can add more water if you like soup), cover the pot, boil over high fire, skim off the floating foam, turn to medium heat, stew for 15-20 minutes, then add chopped carrots, yam, ginger slices and onion segments, and stew for 15.

4. Finally, turn to low heat for 3-5 minutes, add coriander, chopped green onion and appropriate amount of salt, and cook for another 2 minutes. In this way, a pot of mutton soup with good color and flavor, tonifying kidney and dispelling cold is ready.

If you don't have enough materials on hand, you can also make a pot of stewed mutton soup. The preparation materials only need a proper amount of mutton, onion, ginger, pepper, dried tangerine peel, cooking wine and salt. Wash mutton with clear water and cut into small pieces. Wash onion and ginger and cut into sections for later use. Wash the orange peel and tear it into small pieces for use. Put the blanched mutton in a soup pot, add enough water, bring it to a boil with high fire, skim off the floating foam, pour cooking wine, turn to medium heat, add chopped green onion, Jiang Mo, orange peel and pepper, cover the pot, turn to low heat, simmer for 1- 1.5 hours, take out the orange peel and pepper, and add in.

Zheng Guangmin said that mutton was crispy and rotten after a long period of stewing, and the soup was delicious. Drinking such a bowl of mutton soup in winter can warm the spleen, replenish qi and nourish blood, strengthen the body and warm the stomach. But people with fever, excessive internal heat, sore throat and hot constitution should not eat this soup.

Wuhan is beautiful and warm.

In addition, many people always have cold hands and feet in winter, especially women. Here, Zheng Guangmin recommends a soft and sweet "five red porridge", which is not only nutritious, but also can replace the staple food and has a certain slimming effect. Five reds refer to five red ingredients: red beans, red dates, red-skinned peanuts, medlar and brown sugar.

Ingredients: 200g red bean, 50g red peanut150g, 8 red dates, 0g medlar10g, and proper amount of brown sugar.

Production method:

1. Red beans are soaked in clear water for 6-8 hours, red-skinned peanuts are soaked for 2 hours in advance, and red dates are washed and pitted in advance 1 hour;

2. Put red beans, peanuts and red dates into a pot, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high fire, turn to low heat, cover the pot and cook for 40-60 minutes;

3. Add Lycium barbarum and brown sugar, continue to cook for 10 minutes, and then take out the pot.

This kind of porridge can be used as breakfast or dinner instead of staple food. Eating a bowl every day helps women to relieve the symptoms of qi and blood deficiency and maintain a good complexion.

Eating this soup and porridge in winter can not only nourish your body, but also make you feel the warmth of your whole body.
