Prince Ginseng and Adenophora Silkie Chicken Soup

Why people make this soup

Some people find that when the weather shifts between warm and cold — especially the unpredictable temperature swings of late autumn or winter — they are prone to a dry, ticklish cough, a parched throat, or a general feeling of depletion. In traditional Chinese food therapy this is often described as “lung qi deficiency with some internal heat” or a yin-deficient constitution. This soup was designed for exactly that kind of person: it is gentle, mildly sweet, and deeply nourishing without being warming or tonifying in a way that would aggravate internal heat. Nourilo describes it as both delicious and beneficial — and suitable for the whole family, young and old alike.
