Black-Bone Chicken Four-Flavored Soup

Black-Bone Chicken Four-Flavored Soup

A herbal tonic soup of black-bone chicken slow-simmered with snow fungus, lotus seeds, lily bulbs, and yu zhu root into a mellow, deeply restorative broth.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Soak the coix seeds in water for 30 minutes. (Actually, there is no strict rule for soaking time; I usually soak them for 30 minutes to remove preservatives and such).

  2. 2
    Step image

    Soak the snow fungus until it expands, then tear it into small pieces.

  3. 3
    Step image

    Soak adenophora root, lotus seeds, lily bulbs, and Solomon's seal for 30 minutes.

  4. 4
    Step image

    Remove the skin from the black-bone chicken and chop it into large pieces. (Whether to remove the skin is up to personal preference; without the skin, there is less fat.)

  5. 5
    Step image

    Put the black-bone chicken in cold water, bring it to a boil to remove impurities, cook for 3-4 minutes after the water boils, and rinse off the foam.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Put the above ingredients into the electric pressure cooker, add an appropriate amount of water, and press the soup button to start cooking.

  7. 7
    Step image

    After the pot has finished releasing steam, open the lid, skim off the fat, season with salt, and it's ready.

    Moistening and warming, suitable for all seasons.
