Chicken with Daikon大根 (Chinese Radish) Soup

This year winter season is really cold and freezing for us at Northeast especially with high arctic wind chill.I understand we have the coldest New Year Day since 1941.Well,what is the best remedy to warm for our body better than a bowl of warm Chicken Radish Soup,right? My daughter love soup ,I mean any Chinese soup but not my American hubby who won't touch any authentic Chinese soup at all.He only know hot and sour soup,egg drop soup and wonton soup from take out restaurant which is not healthy and nutritious like homemake soup. Anyway, I can't make him consume any healthy and nutritious chinese soup but I often cook authentic Chinese soup for my daughter and myself.I believed Chinese have more than 5000 years of culturalize ,in term of food that must mean something,right?

Ingredients:

5 drumstick ( removed fat and wash)

2 -3 stick medium radish (peel and cut like wheel)

2-3 stick carrot (peel and cut)

10 pc dried oyster ( soaked and wash)

3-4 pc dried cuttlefish ( soaked and wash)

4 liter water

Salt to taste

Method:

1: Wash and peel carrot and radish,then cut about 2-3 inch each pieces like wheels.I like to add carrot in the soup to make it taste sweeter.

2:Soak dried oyster and dried cuttlefish with warm or hot water for 30 minutes ,then wash out any soil or dirt,set aside.Wash and removed fats from drumstick and set aside

3:Prepare water in a medium pot at medium heat,add in radish and carrot,let it's cook for 30-45 minutes in rolling boil water before add in chicken drumstick,dried oyster and dried cuttlefish.Let's it simmer for another 30 minutes before add in some salt to your taste.

4:Remove from heat ,scoop into a bowl,serve hot or warm.

Note:

Daikon or Chinese radish is a challenge for a lot of people who aren’t familiar with it. Especially when cooked, it has a rather strong or pungent flavor to be exact, radishy flavor that, if untamed, can be off-putting but I understand it's a healthy and cooling vegetables.
