Herbs for the soup
Upper row (left to right):
Black dates - 補陰養血， 益脾
Red dates (pitted) - 补益脾胃、调和药性、养血宁神
Kei chi - Good for eyesight
Lower row (left to right):
Tong sum king - Improve 'chi' in the body' 增強機體抵抗力
Dongguai - Improve blood circulation
Put all herbs except kei chi into herbal bag and chuck into a slow cooker together with bones from half chicken (still got some meat attached). Sprinkle keichi around and cook on high setting for 3 hours. Season with salt to taste.
Both Big King and I hate the taste of dates but this soup is very fragrant and all the taste of the herbs blended well together so the taste of dates is not very pronounced. Very nice to drink and good for the body.
Since it is summer here in England, after drinking the soup, we perspired for a while. This soup is meant for winter .........
