Chinese Yam, Goji & Fresh Abalone Chicken Soup

Why people make this soup

A relative brought back a big box of green-lip abalone from Australia — these frozen fresh abalone are getting pricier and have become quite the banquet treat. Double-boiled, they make a marvellously savoury soup, and afterwards you can slice and eat the abalone too, with a lovely texture. In food tradition, abalone is associated with nourishing the body and supporting the eyes, and is comforting for people who feel depleted or get frequent dizziness and headaches. Paired with Chinese yam, goji and chicken, it makes a nourishing soup people enjoy for the complexion, the eyes, and to support steady blood sugar.
