TCM philosophy suggests cooking ingredients like chicken, liver, carrots, parsley, and onions together in a pot overnight creates a unified meal that is easier for the body to process.

“they'll say chicken soup is great they'll say take broth take chicken take liver take the different parts of the animal the carcass put it in a pot add in some carrots some parsley some onions let it cook overnight and then you can consume it because they also believe that your body has to produce different enzymes to break down meat than it does fruit than it does vegetables but if you cook it in a pot overnight their mentality was it becomes more one and so your body is sort of getting all of the same thing at one time not too anyways that was part of their philosophy”
