Weekend Menu # 59: Warming chicken soup

School holiday is over and tomorrow kids are going back to schools. It has been a relaxing holiday for me after back from Thailand a week ago as both older kids were holidaying in Kapit with their grandparents. Since both kids were not around, I have tv all to myself. Lol.

And I hardly cooked for the past week. Like what hubby said, kitchen was closed. Now the kids are at home, I have to start cooking again. I actually prefer to eat in than bringing them out for meals. Less headache. 

I have a pack of this ning shen soup pack from Eu Yan Sang when I got it for my gift hamper.  Hubby asked me to cook some chicken soup few days ago, so I decided to use this pack for my chicken soup.




The herbs are ready packed, so basically just throw everything and thawed chicken meat into slow cooker.  Cook for 2 -3 hours and then add light soy sauce and salt to taste.



And I have a very nice, sweet herbal chicken soup for everyone.  Suppose to be for body warming and good for the heart function.

  4. Ginseng is cooling leh... Warming, kacang ma - lots of ginger or the Foochow char bee lau (fragrant root). But weather so hot, should not take those "heaty" stuff.

  5. weather so hot but inside got aircond... hehe. I love herbal chicken soup! so easy to make too. I normally just use the store bought packet that costs between RM7-RM8. Never tried Eu Yan Sang, but that packaging looks nice. You ever tried using kampung chicken? would taste even better! Have a good week ahead Rose! :)
