蘋果紅棗雞湯 Chicken Soup with Apple & Jujube

這是一道我家那煮什麼吃什麼的先生會主動點餐的雞湯，原始的食譜來自矽谷美味人妻。

一開始是因為 KT在這道菜名上加了「美容」兩字，又有「蘋果」、「紅」棗等字眼，讓人直覺想到白裡透紅的好氣色，所以就有這麼個印象擱在心上；後來某次買到兩顆不好吃的蘋果，偏乾澀、缺少香氣，乾脆拿來入菜好了。

這一試成主顧，真好吃！

如果使用的是已經切好的雞肉，那這道湯品真是省事無比，所有材料入鍋一個小時就有好湯上桌；美味程度呢？我家先生說他覺得可以當年菜呢！

My husband literally eats everything I cook. This soup is something he'll suggest when I want to make chicken soup. The original recipe is from KT (in Chinese.)

KT named it with keywords like "good to skin beauty," so it got my attention. Then there was a time we got 2 apples which were not that good, kind of dry, lack of fragrance. So I used them in cooking.

Wow, amazing!

If using pre-cut chicken, this soup can be done in an hour. It is so delicious that my husband thinks it could be on Chinese New Year's table.

Adapted from KT's blog

Ingredients:

• half chicken
• apple 1, peel, core, and cut into chunks
• dried jujube 7-8
• fresh ginger root 3-5 slices
• rice wine 2-3 Tablespoons
• water
• salt to taste

Directions:

1. In a stock pot filled with cold water, put chicken in, and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour away the water and wash the chicken under running water. By doing so the soup will be clearer.
2. In the same pot, put in chicken, apple, jujubes , ginger slices, add rice wine, then add water to just above all the ingredients. Cover and bring to a boil on high.
3. Keep the soup at a rapid boil for 40 minutes. Adjust heat if need to avoid a boil over. Skim the scum as needed.
4. After 40-minute boil, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for another 20 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
