Guangdong-style Stewed Snake Soup

Guangdong-style Stewed Snake Soup

Guangdong-style Stewed Snake Soup is a traditional Chinese soup made from snake meat, herbs, and spices. The meat is first marinated in rice wine and soy sauce and then slowly cooked for hours in a flavorful broth. The soup is believed to have medicinal properties and is popular in Southern China as a warming winter dish that is said to help boost the immune system and improve circulation. The soup has a rich, slightly gamey flavor with a smooth and slightly thick texture, and is often served with rice noodles and chopped scallions.
