American Ginseng Soup

This is the perfect soup for nourishing & rejuvenating oneself.









American Ginseng Soup Ingredients:

1/2 chicken*, chopped to small pieces and skin removed
40g American Ginseng “Beards”
1.6 litres of water
25g Huai Shan
10 red dates
1/2 tbsp wolfberries
a pinch of salt

Preparations:

1. Blanch chicken pieces in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Place the blanched chicken and the rest of the ingredients (except wolfberries) into a pot with the water. Bring to a boil, continue boiling over high heat for 10 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to a lower flame and simmer for at least another 40 minutes (and longer if you can). Add wolfberries at the last 15 minutes of cooking. You can also slow cook, or use a thermal pot (or whatever you have) to prolong the cooking (at a gentle pace) to bring out the tastes. Add salt to taste.
