Nutritious double-boiled chicken soup


Ingredients:
1 Kampung Chicken (free range chicken)
1/2 cup of Kei chi (Chinese Wolfberry)
a handful of yu zhu (solomon's seal)
8 sticks of huai shan (wild yam)
6 pieces of dried longan
1 piece of whole, dried, unfried fish maw 

Methods:

  1. Clean the chicken and cut into quarters. 
  2. Rinse the fish maw and soak for few hours before cooking.
  3. Rinse all the other herb ingredients.
  4. Put all the ingredients into the pot with enough water to cover the chicken.
  5. Double boil till chicken is tender, add a bit of salt to taste and serve hot.
Notes: This soup is beneficial to everyone including growing children and elderly. The double-boiled process helps to retain the nutritious value of the soup as well as it's flavours compared to boiling.
