Every Sunday I will make a big pot of soup that enough to last for the whole week. This lotus root chicken soup is the soup of the week. The lotus roots are tasty although after couple hours of cooking. As we don't like food waste, we usually eat everything in the soup. To replenish the flavour for the lotus root and chicken, serve them with soy sauce. That is how my mom always does it.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Old Chicken, skin off
1 Lotus Root, peeled and chunked
5 Chinese Red Dates, pitted
10 cups Water
Salt to taste
DIRECTION:
1. In a large soup pot, add all ingredients. Pour in water that enough to cover all ingredients. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to medium and continuously boil for another 2 hours. Add more water half way if needed. Season with salt to taste.
