Herbal Chicken Soup

Saturday November 6, 2004
This recipe is based on a traditional herbal tonic recipe that I was shown how to make years ago. Astragalus root, called Huang Qi in China, is an immune tonic that is believed to strengthen the body's defensive energy against bacteria and viruses. Astragalus is a component of Change of Season soup and is often combined with other herbs for energy, circulation, and physical stamina. Read the recipe now.
