Shigu White Duck Soup

Shigu White Duck Soup

　　Shigu White Duck Soup is made from white ducks with “rural household registration” from Shigu, Yongchun. These ducks have large heads with bright red combs, snow-white feathers, short necks, solid yellow feet, sturdy bodies, and a shape that is neither quite duck nor goose-like. They have red faces, flat beaks, can both fly and swim, and their calls resemble birdsong. They possess high value for both meat and medicinal purposes. The meat is extremely tender, fragrant, crisp, and smooth, with a delicious and refreshing taste, and offers significant medicinal and health benefits. The white duck soup, simmered with more than ten kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, is rich in nutrients, flavorful, and thick without being greasy—renowned far and wide.
