Materials required:

Fresh native chicken: 600g

Longan meat: 20g

Lotus seed: 20g

Jujube: 20g

Euryale ferox seed: 20g

Lycium barbarum: 20g

Ginger: 20g

Salt: right amount

Rock sugar: right amount

Water: About 1000ml

Note: soup is actually very simple, choose a good material, cook it slowly, just need a little patience and effort. What we should pay attention to is the order and timing of adding ingredients. For example, lotus seed and Euryale ferox need to be cooked thoroughly and rotten for a long time, so add them earlier; jujube and longan will lose nutrition if they are cooked for a long time, so add them later; wolfberry is the easiest to cook, and once they are cooked for a long time, they will be broken, so add them finally. If you don't like too sweet, you can skip rock sugar. In fact, jujube, longan and wolfberry all have sweet taste, which is very sweet without sugar. Don't worry about lotus seeds. They don't taste bitter.
