Chicken bones are the key to a sweet and delicious soup. You can use boneless chicken breast, but you can add some bone fragments such as legs or thighs, or even breastbones.
This soup is my grandmother's recipe, easy to make. It depends on the freshness of the ingredients. A lot of people add pepper to this soup, but I love the taste and simplicity of my grandmother's recipes.
This fresh bamboo shoot soup is a very simple soup to prepare. Add 4 cups of water to the chicken nuggets over medium heat. Bring the soup to a boil and turn the heat down to low heat. Boiling hard will make the soup cloudy.

Peel off the outer dark layer from the bamboo shoots until the off-white shoots remain. I started with a 10-ounce bamboo shoot and ended with a 4-ounce bamboo chip. Cut off the hard head. Rinse the bamboo shoots in cold water. From this point of view, the whole piece is edible. Trim that side and preserve it as a soup.
Cut the bamboo into 1-inch thick cross-sections. Press down on your cookie knife. Remove the residue, cut into small pieces and add to the soup. Take the incised heart and cut into thin slices. Add the hearts and crumbs to the soup. Let the soup boil for more than 30 minutes to bring the flavors together. You can even cook the soup for a longer time, and the bamboo shoots will stay firm.
