Chapter 162: Bone Soup (1)

After checking Ye's body, Xia Tian went to the river to wash as usual, brought back a few small fish and shrimps from the fish basket, and immediately taught him how to cook bone soup.

She first dealt with the small fish and shrimp, then found the remaining hind leg meat of the strange beast, picked off and scraped it clean, leaving only a thick leg bone as long as an arm.

"Now I'll teach you how to make bone soup."

It is morning now, and many viewers in the live broadcast room are still asleep. Some have just gone to bed due to time difference, or have set the viewing time to start at a certain time, so there are not many people online at the moment.

Xia Tian had just examined Ye and was now making bone soup, which was a little different from the usual leisurely morning. It was only after some friends took the initiative to forward it on Star Network that it attracted some viewers.

[Ahhh, are you late? I usually don't have anything to do in the morning. I heard they were making some bone soup. I was slacking off at work and secretly watching this. I'm so nervous!]

I'm a little curious about what this soup is. These bones are usually industrial waste, so who would eat them?

[Hey, Uncle Ye is recovering well. He looks fine now. Is this a bug?]

[Xia Xia was also surprised just now. I feel like there's something hidden. I think she'll explain it later, right?]

[Hey, stop arguing, stop arguing, I want to drink soup! ]

In the clean and spacious "open-top" kitchen, water in a stone pot was boiling on the stove.

Xia Tian did not deal with the big bone in her hand, but put it directly into boiling water, waited for ten minutes for the water to boil again, then scooped it up with "chopsticks" made of branches and placed it on clean leaves aside for later use.

"Help me smash these bones into pieces, the more broken the better, and then put them on this leaf." She knew that the orcs were very strong, so she didn't hesitate and directly ordered Ye to smash the bones.

The middle-aged orc didn't understand any of this, so he didn't say much and just did as he was told.

Xia Tian poured out the somewhat turbid water in the stone pot, scooped out clean water from the water tank and placed it on the stove, waiting for it to boil.

This is the water you will use to make soup.

"You have to remember, before using bones to make soup, you must blanch them in boiling water first. This is to remove some unhealthy ingredients." It seemed like he was explaining the method to Ye, and also to the audience in the live broadcast room.

Is blanching just boiling the food in water? I see something in the soup, and I thought it was nutritious.

[Wow, the host is really detailed. He even crushes the soup after boiling it. I thought you just threw it in and cooked it hahaha]

[It's good to have bones to cook. You can't buy bones like that in StarCraft now. They're all processed meat.]

So the question is, now that we know how to make soup, where do we get the big bones?

It is necessary to blanch the vegetables before making soup.

This not only removes blood and reduces the bloody smell in the final soup, but also removes as much purine as possible and reduces the possibility of gout.

As for the fat formed when boiling the soup later, the nutritional situation in this world is not yet at the level where fat intake needs to be reduced, so Xia Tian does not plan to add that process for the time being.

"Crushing these bones allows the calcium inside to better absorb into the soup. This is the most delicious way to supplement calcium that can be found so far." Xia Tian joked as she knocked a piece of scrap off the shell bowl.
