Black chicken soup with goji berries and chinese yam

This chicken soup is doubled boiled using a ceramic double boiling jar.

If you do not have one, you can use a ceramic tureen with a cover and steam it in a large stock pot or wok. Bring the water in the pot to a boil and lower the heat and simmer.

The little black chicken is complemented with sweet goji berries and crunchy chinese yam. A classic gentle tonic and so easy to make.

This soup should be only enough for 1 person.
