Chicken Soup With Pumpkin 金瓜炖鸡
Recipe source : The World of Nourishing & Fine Soups
Pumpkin is very versatile. It can be cooked in so many different ways and can be made into all kinds of cakes, buns, muffins, puddings and kuih-muih, not forgetting the wide variety of savoury dishes and soups!
Today I am double-boiling pumpkin with chicken to make a soup. According to the herbal cookbook, this chicken and pumpkin soup alleviates fever and clears phlegm. It cleanses blood and detoxifies the body. Hmmmm, sounds very nutritious and very beneficial indeed.
This soup is absolutely divine!
Ingredients
300g pumpkin
5 dried oysters
5 red dates, pitted
1 chicken whole leg
900ml water
1/2 tsp salt
Method
1. Rinse and peel pumpkin. Remove cores from pumpkin and cut into cubes.
2. Rinse dried oysters.
3. Remove skin from chicken and scald in hot water.
4. Put all ingredients ( except salt ) into a large porcelain stewing pot. Cover with lid and double-boil for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
5. Add 1/2 tsp salt just before serving.

Hi Doris,
ReplyDeleteThis soup looks so nourishing, perfect for a cold autumn day here in belgium, too bad I dun have dried oysters, but I still have some dried scallops. Would give it a try one day, thanks for sharing!
