About Old cucumber chicken soup
Old Cucumber Chicken Soup is a traditional dish popular in Chinese cuisine, particularly valued for its nourishing and cooling properties. The soup features tender pieces of chicken simmered alongside old cucumber, a mature version of cucumber with a tough, yellowed skin and seeded flesh that imparts a deep, earthy flavor. Often enhanced with red dates, goji berries, and sometimes dried tangerine peel or herbs, the dish is steamed or slow-cooked for hours to achieve its rich, savory taste. Old cucumber is believed to have detoxifying and heat-clearing qualities in traditional Chinese medicine, while chicken provides lean protein essential for muscle repair and immune support. The soup is low in fat and packed with antioxidants from added superfoods like goji berries. However, sodium levels could be high depending on broth seasoning, so moderation is key. This dish is both comforting and health-conscious, making it a beloved staple in Asian households.
