Watercress, dried duck gizzard and pork Soup

In the winter when watercress is in season, drinking a hot bowl of watercress soup is truly a first-class enjoyment. When making watercress soup, the watercress must be immersed in boiling water, otherwise the soup will become bitter. If there are too many vegetables, add them in batches to avoid a sudden drop in water temperature. Watercress is grown in paddy fields, so salt should be added when washing the vegetables. Efficacy of ingredients: Watercress: Sweet and slightly bitter, cold in nature, nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, clears heat and detoxifies, is a diuretic, relieves coughs, tracheal discomfort and resolves phlegm caused by dryness and heat.
