This black 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.
