Chinese herbal soup. Use either 1 or 2 sachets of the herbs. Depending on how strong you like the soup and amount of chicken used. Simmer the sachet with garlic and ginger (as needed) to extract broth. Add chicken and season with salt. Simmer over very very low heat till chicken is tender. Add a handful of soaked kei chi(wolf berries) and longan. Simmer just for another few minutes and off the heat
