Healthy soup recipes, warm the body and nourish the stomach, super comfortable

Just choose medium or warm ingredients, use less high-oil, high-sugar and heavy seasonings, and control the cooking time to 1-2 hours. Below are three recipes that I have personally tested for more than half a year, and the cost is basically within 10 yuan. The kitchen novice has zero failures. You can make them right away.

First of all, I will cook the yam and poria cocos lean meat soup three times a week. The ingredients are 1 piece of fresh yam, 3 pieces of poria cocos, 100g of lean pork, and 2 red dates to remove the earthy smell. Wash them all and cut them into pieces and throw them into the pot. Add water to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Remove from the pot and sprinkle some salt. I used to suffer from flatulence all the time when the seasons changed, and I kept burping while sitting in the office in the afternoon. After drinking this for a week, I basically didn’t suffer from flatulence. My colleagues even asked me if I secretly switched to probiotics. When I was looking up information, I saw two opinions. Some people said that Poria cocos needs to be ground into powder to be easily absorbed. Some old doctors from traditional Chinese medicine hospitals said that boiling the whole piece has milder medicinal properties and is less likely to cause dryness. I have tried both. If it is ground into powder, the soup will be thicker, which is suitable for the elderly with bad teeth. The soup boiled in one piece is clearer. If you are afraid of making your mouth sticky, choose this kind. You can't go wrong.

If I lose my appetite and feel bitter in my mouth, I will cook tomato, corn and pork ribs soup. This is a favorite of the whole family. For tomatoes, choose the kind of ripe tomatoes that are crunchy. If you like soft texture, peel them and cut into small pieces to stir-fry them until they become sandy. If you don’t like it, you can just cut them and throw them into the pot. Add half a sweet corn, 2 small pieces of ribs, and simmer for an hour. They are so fresh that you can even add less salt. I had an argument with a friend in Guangdong before. She said that you should never blanch the pork ribs, as half of the umami flavor will be lost after blanching. As someone who is afraid of fishy food, I am still used to blanch it once and skim off the blood. In fact, as long as you control the heat, both methods will taste delicious. If you are afraid of high purine, choose the blanched one. If you want the ultimate freshness, just skim it twice more. Oh, by the way, those who have a lot of stomach acid should remember to add less tomatoes, otherwise they will easily suffer from acid reflux. Last time I was greedy and added three more. I drank warm water all afternoon to neutralize the acidity.

When the weather is cold, I like to stew carrot and mutton soup. After drinking it, I feel warm all over, and my cold hands and feet can be mostly cured. Choose mutton leg meat, cut into small pieces and blanch the blood first, add 1 piece of ginger and 2 small pieces of green onion and stew for 50 minutes, add chopped white radish and stew for 20 minutes, take it out of the pot and sprinkle some white pepper, it will be so fresh that your feet will stomp. Many people say that mutton is hot in nature, and people who are prone to getting angry will get acne and sore throats after drinking it. In fact, you only need to add 2 slices of Ophiopogon japonicus or a small piece of sugar cane to neutralize the heat. There is no need to worry. I just got angry after eating hot pot last time. When I stewed the mutton, I added half a piece of sugar cane. After drinking two large bowls, I didn't get acne. Instead, my stomach felt warm and comfortable.

Speaking of which, I have encountered many pitfalls in making soup. I heard people say that the thicker the soup, the more filling it will be. I would simmer for three or four hours each time, and then turn off the heat when the soup turned white. Later, when I went for a physical examination, the uric acid was a bit high. The doctor said that the broth cooked for a long time is particularly high in purines, especially if it contains seafood and mushrooms. Drinking too much can lead to gout. Now our family can cook soup for no more than 1.5 hours at most. The soup is clear and delicious, and there is no need to worry about health problems. I also drank a large bowl of soup before a meal to nourish my stomach, but I ended up with gastric reflux. Friends from the gastroenterology department said that people with gastroptosis and excessive gastric acid are not suitable for drinking too much soup at one time. On the contrary, it will increase the burden on the stomach, so they should drink warm soup in small amounts and multiple times.

By the way, don’t drink soup that is too hot. The World Health Organization has long said that drinks above 65°C are class 2A carcinogens. Too hot drinks will damage the esophagus and gastric mucosa, and the gain outweighs the gain. Now I always pour it out and let it sit for 3 minutes. Drinking it is just warm enough to warm my stomach without scalding my mouth. There is another question that has been debated for a long time: should we drink soup before or after a meal? In fact, there is no standard answer at all. For people with low stomach acid and poor digestion, drinking half a bowl before a meal is just right to appetize. For people with high stomach acid and prone to acid reflux, drink half an hour after a meal. Don’t drink too much. Just half a bowl is enough. What suits you is the best.

In fact, I don’t have so many rules when it comes to making soup. Sometimes I have leftover day lilies and cordyceps flowers at home, which are very fresh when thrown in. Last week, I tried adding a few longans to the yam soup. It was very sweet and suitable for girls to drink during their aunties. There is no 100% perfect stomach-nourishing soup. If you feel comfortable drinking it and your stomach feels warm and comfortable after drinking it, it is the best. If you have any secret soup recipes, you can share them in the comment area. I’m worried about not having any new ways to cook them recently.~
