Method and detailed steps for making chicken soup with American ginseng and red dates

1. Cut the free-range chicken into large pieces; best to soak in water for 30 minutes (this removes the gamey chicken smell)

2. Prepare Changhong American ginseng and red dates, scallions, ginger and garlic; wash and set aside

3. Boil some water, blanch the chicken pieces that have been soaked in cold water; remove them as soon as they change color slightly

4. Prepare a soup pot, add the chicken pieces, American ginseng and red dates, and add a small spoonful of rice wine. Then add cold water to cover the ingredients, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for about one hour. Add salt to taste before turning off the heat and serving (salt must not be added early, otherwise the broth will taste bitter)
