Method

1. Wash chicken meat, pad dry and lightly season with salt.

3. Boil 5 cups of distilled water.
4. Add chicken meat, carrots and goji berries, ham and ginger.
5. Turn heat down to medium after re-boiling for 15 minutes.
6. Lower heat further to a simmer, and continue until soup amounts to about 2 cups.
7. Season with salt to taste and serve with a couple slices of carrots and goji berries.

Chef Note: (a) For soups that require boiling for a long period of time, it is best to use pure distilled water, or the mineral contents may become excessive as the liquid becomes concentrated. (b) Chicken meat and ham in the soup would not be flavorful after boiling for a long time, but if you wish, you can still serve with soup.
