Chicken Soup for the SG Soul
(Chicken | Contains Gluten | Contains Peanuts | Alcohol-Free | Egg-Free | Dairy-Free)
Growing up, there will always be a pot of Chinese soup on our dinner table at every meal, lovingly simmered for hours by my folks. I never quite realised how blessed I was, until I started missing homecooked dinners due to long hours at work. There is just something so very special about Chinese herbal soups. That comforting warmth and deep intense flavours. For centuries, Chinese herbs have been used to promote general well-being, boost strength and health, and even to treat various body ailments, a testament to the curative properties of the different Chinese herbs used. I remember how my mother will always lovingly get me to drink an extra huge bowl of chicken herbal soup when I’m feeling under the weather, or during the crunch time of examinations. Over time, I’ve come to associate the soup with healing, health, love and family. There’s nothing like the chicken soup to soothe the soul!
So this National Day, I’m dedicating this SouperChef Special to the SG soul. A familiar taste that will comfort and nourish. A feel-good soup that is generous in the use of synergetic Chinese herbs to restore and rejuvenate.
