Steamed Chicken Soup

Steamed chicken soup is not only tasty but also very nutritious, and it's a great way to keep your mom healthy. After rinsing a whole chicken, place it in a large soup pot or a deep plate that can fit inside a steamer. Add water, ginger, garlic, and scallions. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Steam the chicken for 45-60 minutes. 

Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to cool down. Strain the chicken stock through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the solids. Return the stock to the pot and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add chopped carrots and celery and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Shred the chicken and add it to the pot with the vegetables and simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
