A naturally sweet and comforting chicken soup made with dried scallops, red dates, cordyceps flower and goji berries. The double boiling method keeps the soup concentrated without reducing the liquid, making it a simple and wholesome family meal served with noodles or rice.

1. Blanch the chicken in boiling water, then rinse it clean to remove impurities.
2. Place the chicken, dried scallops, red dates, cordyceps flower, goji berries and water into a double boiler.
3. Cover and double boil for about 3 hours.

6. Garnish with spring onions and serve.
If your kids don’t like herbs, keep it simple, just chicken, a few pieces of ginger and dried scallops are enough. You can also use any noodles your kids enjoy, it doesn’t have to be meesua..
* Double boiling keeps the amount of soup from reducing even after 3 hours of cooking.
* The soup becomes naturally sweet, so you can add salt to taste, but I personally don’t add any because I find it sweet enough.
* Remove the chicken skin if you prefer a less oily soup.
* Don’t skip blanching the chicken, it helps give you a clearer broth

This is one of my favourite ways to turn any leftover meat into a completely new meal.. The roasted meat gives the soup a deep, savoury flavour, while the mustard greens add a delicious balance of sweetness and slight bitterness. It’s a comforting one pot soup that’s perfect for reducing food waste.
