Nourishing Squab Soup 桂圆枸杞蓮子淮山炖乳鸽汤
Squab is one of my favourite nourishing ingredients during the autumn and winter months. It not only rich in nutrition but also helps to improve your overall health. A bowl of rich suckling pigeon tastes sweet and has the effects of nourishing liver, kidney, blood and balances your Qi, hydrates and quenches thirst.

中文版
- 準備材料，乳鴿洗凈。
- 鴿肉和瘦肉(或豬骨)飛水。腥味血水，大概煮个5分钟左右捞出，用冷水洗干净待用
- 所有材料放入砂煲，大火燒開，小火煲一個半小時左右。
- 提前十分鐘調入鹽，就可以食用了。
Notes
- You can use either Pork Tenderloin or Pork Bones. I prefer tenderloin because it is less fatty.
- Enjoy the soup ingredients with a side of soy sauce. The squab meat is tender and succulent!
- I like to use an electric stewing pot for keeping nutrition and original taste of food without having to check the stove.
