Chicken noodle soup: Jewish penicillin. Tom Yum Soup, with its lemongrass, ginger, and chili really puts the yum into this therapeutic Thai classic. Caldo de Pollo: the Mexican equivalent of Jewish penicillin only with cilantro.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chinese culture, one of the oldest on the planet, is of course no different. But Chinese soups have a distinct advantage when it comes to therapeutic selling points.

And if there\u2019s one Chinese \u201cpenicillin\u201d soup it would have to be Ginseng and Chicken Soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ginseng is known for its energy-boosting properties in TCM. According to TCM theory, the soup is believed to replenish Qi (vital energy) and improve overall vitality. Red dates add a touch of sweetness and aid in nourishing the blood.<br><br>Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/american_ginseng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tstyle=\"text-align: center\"\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/american_ginsengps.gif\"\n\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1 whole chicken, cut into pieces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 roots of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/american_ginseng\/\">American ginseng<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/chineseherbs\/dazao.shtml\">red dates<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 slices of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/chineseherbs\/ganjiang.shtml\">ginger<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8 cups of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instructions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Place the chicken pieces, American ginseng, red dates, and ginger in a large pot with water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 hours until the chicken is tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Season with salt to taste before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Huang Qi (Astragalus) and Mushroom Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, it\u2019s not asparagus, it\u2019s astragalus. Astragalus is a potent Wei Qi (loose translation: the immune system) supporter in TCM. Huang Qi is one of three herbs in the popular formula, Jade Screen, aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/yuping\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"blog-internal-link\" data-ahw-link=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Yu-Ping-Feng-Pian-JadeDefender-Tablets\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jade Defender<\/a>. In this soup, astragalus is combined with shiitake mushrooms and black fungus, the latter of which could probably use a rebranding. Contrary to its unappetizing name, black fungus, aka cloud ear or tree ear, is an edible mushroom like reishi or cordyceps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to supporting the immune system, this soup may support overall Qi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/chineseherbs\/huangqi.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tstyle=\"text-align: center\"\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/chineseherbs\/huangqis.gif\"\n\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>10 dried shiitake mushrooms (available at most supermarkets)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20g <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/chineseherbs\/huangqi.shtml\">astragalus root<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cup of black fungus (available at most Asian markets)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 slices of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/chineseherbs\/ganjiang.shtml\">ginger<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8 cups of vegetable broth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms and astragalus root in water until they become soft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the soaked ingredients, black fungus, ginger, and vegetable broth in a pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Season with salt and soy sauce to taste before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TCM Soups: Gou Qi Zhi (Goji Berry) and Pork Rib Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A superfood fruit combined with pork? At first sight, this combination seems as illogical and unsavory as chocolate topped with mayo. But goji berries, which are used as a longevity-promoting herb in TCM, are frequently sprinkled in Chinese homes over chicken or pork soups. For this recipe, you can add Chinese red dates to this \u201cold fire simmer soup,\u201d a clear broth cooked over low heat. This soup is thought to improve eyesight, nourish the liver, and enhance overall vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/chineseherbs\/gouqizi.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tstyle=\"text-align: center\"\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/chineseherbs\/gouqizis.gif\"\n\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>500g pork ribs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20g dried <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/chineseherbs\/gouqizi.shtml\">goji berries<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 slices of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/chineseherbs\/ganjiang.shtml\">ginger<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tablespoons of Chinese rice wine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8 cups of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instructions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Blanch the pork ribs in boiling water for a few minutes, then rinse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the blanched pork ribs, dried goji berries, ginger, Chinese rice wine, and water in a pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours until the pork is tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Season with salt and honey to taste before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis) Chicken Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ladies: if it\u2019s a cold day plus you\u2019re battling symptoms related to the menstrual cycle, this is the soup for you.
