Features: The term "old fire fine soup" as referred to by Guangdong people refers to a type of soup that is slow-cooked for a long time, with sufficient heat and a fresh taste. Traditionally, it is cooked in an earthenware pot. After the water comes to a boil, the soup ingredients are added, brought to a boil, and then the heat is reduced to simmer for 2-4 hours. Old fire fine soup is an indispensable invigorating dish in dinner banquets and also the most common type of food in the daily life of people from Guangdong. Cooking old fire fine soup is a very simple culinary skill, but when it comes to ingredients, it is a profound art. The climate in the Lingnan region is warm and humid, and it is inevitable for those who live there for a long time to be affected by heat toxins and warm qi. Old fire soup actually originates from the dietary principles of traditional Chinese medicine. However, true medicinal soups are extremely bitter. Even if they are consumed once a week, it could lead to the Guangzhou people becoming a generation of medicinal jar inheritors. Balancing the efficacy of medicine with the sweetness of the soup, the food-loving people of Guangzhou have deduced old fire fine soup from the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, the criteria for evaluating a good soup are also words like "sweet" and "nourishing," showing that in the eyes of the people of Guangzhou, the significance of soup is quite similar to that of medicine.
