Original hen soup

Overview

Winter Solstice: Since ancient times, there is a saying that dumplings are eaten in the north and glutinous rice balls are eaten in the south! But in Nanjing, which is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, neither south nor north, we have never seen such a custom since we were young. Instead, there is another tradition: on the day of the winter solstice, every household will stew an old hen soup and cook a bowl of green vegetables and tofu; which means: the beginning of winter nutrition ~ a chicken and green vegetables and tofu to ensure safety; our family is no exception, it is like this every year~~~
