Chicken soup for Mr Chan's Soul


We have on hand a large consignment of herbs of various kinds... the most recognizable are the mess of roots called ginseng as well as wolfberries; the rest I cannot even fathom the names. Anyway, we have come to realize that putting them all together into a pot with a chicken and simmering for a couple of hours makes pretty good soup. 

So, to soothe our dear Earng Han's tired soul (after he had toured God know's where in Boston), we decided to cook up an eclectic stew of herbs, mushroom and chicken. After simmering for about six hours, the  visually exhilarating, redolent of an art form, masterpiece (see above) was the final result. And our dear Earng Han's take on it? Priceless...
