I have recently cook this soup which I can let my husband and my children consume without worrying whether is too much heatiness in the soup itself. I find it very nourishing and all my family members love it. I had found always a black chicken soup very rich in vitamins and a lot of heat, but this dish does not have so much heat in it yet is still herbal and easy to consume. I hope you will like it too.
