Sweet Lychee Chicken Soup

The refrigerator was filled with lychees fed by neighbors, friends, and colleagues one after another, and I instantly remembered the lychee chicken soup I made before! I always thought that the price of lychees was "arrogant", and every time I made this soup, it was like a "luxury experience", and I was still not satisfied after making it. This year, the price of lychees is affordable, and with everyone's enthusiastic feeding, I can finally turn over this favorite again! ~~ Remove the pits and take out the meat of the lychees, put them into the pot with fresh chicken and pitted red dates, and add Ophiopogon japonicus and Polygonatum odoratum to neutralize the warm nature. Even I, who am afraid of getting angry, can drink it with confidence! The fruity and meaty aromas slowly seep out, and the soup is sweet and mellow, and it still tastes like the fairy in my memory! After drinking the soup and eating the meat, I have to say that this wave of feeding is simply a "god assist". This time I can finally drink enough and make up for all the "drinks" I didn't "drink enough" in the past~
