\"Black<\/span>STORY BEHIND THE RECIPE<\/span><\/h1>\n

Double-boiled black chicken herbal\u00a0soup\u00a0is very nourishing, especially for women. Drinking this helps to improve blood circulation and revitalise\u00a0your energy levels, and it helps to replenish the blood stores after a woman’s monthly cycle. My mother used to double boil this soup for my sister and I every month, and I have continued this tradition for my daughters as well.<\/p>\n

TRICK OF THE TRADE<\/span><\/h1>\n

Black chicken herbal soup falls into a third category of Cantonese soups: Dun Tong (\u7096\u6c64), which are soups that are double boiled for a long period of time.<\/p>\n

For the double boiling method, I used a smaller\u00a0 pot for the soup and steamed it within a larger pot of water. This method will help extract out all the essence, flavour and nutritional goodness of the chicken into the soup, and is the preferred method for making nourishing tonics such as this one.\"Double<\/p>\n
