Black Chicken Soup for Inflamed Gut & Skin
Alice Sun•Mar 19, 2023
Growing up this chicken soup was treated as a panacea — a cure all — for any of our inflammation issues in the family. Dealing with a cystic acne flare up? Drink this. Gum are inflamed and hurting a lot more than usual from lack of sleep? Have some!

Instructions
Wash the chicken (1 whole) first then break down into smaller pieces
Wash the herbs then set to the side
In a large stock pot, add in a few tbps of oil, the ginger (3–4 slices), and chicken (1 whole)
Brown the chicken on all sides then add enough water to cover the chicken with 1 inch of water (7-8 cups)
Add all the herbs in and turn the heat to medium low and let everything stew for 3-4 hours
At the end, salt to taste (I add in about 2-3 tbsps) and the goji berries (1 Tbsp)
