Hie all , today I would like to introduce a chinese traditional herbal chicken soup. A health-restoring broth for everyone, including new mothers. Feel free to adjust the herbs to your taste or your family’s tradition. Ginger is often added to the brew when serving to a new mother.
Recipes → Chinese Herbal Chicken Soup
Chinese dried herb mixture
50g yuk chok (solomon’s seal)
40g wai san (Chinese yam)
40g tong sam (codonopsis root)
40g fuk san
20g Chinese pitted red dates (hong cho)
2-3 slices old ginger
5g boxthorn berries (kei chi, also known as goji berries)
2 litres water
1 free-range chicken, cut into chunks
Salt and pepper to taste
To Prepare :
Clean the herb under cold running water before using. Brush the tong sam root to remove any grit. In a stockpot, bring water to boil and add the chicken. Boil for 5 minutes. Add all the herbs, except kei chi. Lower heat and simmer gently, partially covered with lid, for 2 hours. Add the kei chi and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot, as a nourishing tonic, or as part of a Chinese meal.
