This is an adaptation of our version of Healing Asian chicken soup. Our goal was to improve the taste and texture of the chicken but, along the way, we thought perhaps we could simplify it, too. We ended up creating something a little different than we intended.
The result is a slightly different soup with some appealing qualities; gently poached vegetables and meat in a scented broth. The quality of the original ingredients will shine through, so purchase the best produce you can find.
Although we haven’t done any formal testing, it could be argued that this is likely even more healthy than our original adaptation. The lower temperature of the water bath and the closed environment retain more vitamins.*
