About Herbal Chicken Soup I: Qi and Blood

The herbs for the slow-cooked chicken soup our family makes when the weather turns: jujube, cordyceps flower, astragalus, angelica root, codonopsis, ficus root and poria.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine this is a classic qi and blood combination of sweet, gently warming herbs, simmered together in family kitchens for generations. Add them to chicken, ginger and water and let the pot go low and slow.
