Immune-Boosting Reishi Chicken Soup

There’s something deeply comforting about a bowl of warm soup—especially one thoughtfully brewed with nourishing herbs and ingredients. The recipe for Herbal Chicken Soup with Lingzhi offers more than flavor: it’s a gentle, restorative boost for body and spirit. (Recipe source: Eu Yan Sang)

Here’s how it works—and how you can complement it with wellness tools to uplift your self-care rituals.

A Recipe That Heals

This soup combines parboiled chicken halves, Lingzhi mushrooms, dried tangerine peel, red dates, goji berries, and ginger slices, simmered over gentle heat.

Each ingredient has a purpose:

• Lingzhi (reishi) supports calm and resilience
• Red dates & goji berries bring nourishing sweetness
• Ginger & tangerine peel add warmth and comfort

Together, they create a balanced synergy—gentle yet restorative—that resonates with those nights when your body craves calm, rest, and renewal.

Why It Matters for Radiant Skin & Wellness

• Supports immunity & vitality during seasonal shifts or when life feels intense
• Provides gentle nourishment without overloading the system
• Helps restore calm from the inside out, so external skin, mood, sleep, and digestion often follow
• Makes a beautiful ritual: preparing the soup is part of caring for your body

Elevate the Ritual with Thoughtful Tools

While the soup works internally, pairing it with external self-care creates a more holistic ritual. Here are a few ways:

1. Start your soup ritual by setting intention and preparing mindfully.
2. Sip the broth slowly—let warmth and nourishment settle in.
3. Use a gua sha in the evening to help promote circulation and relaxation. For example, the Natural Bian Stone Gua Sha Set blends ancient stone therapy with comfort in your hands.
4. After your soup, unwind with a warm cup of a gentle Herbal Tea Blend to prolong the sense of calm and nourishment.

Making It Yours

• Adjust ingredient amounts based on your preference—less ginger for gentleness, more goji for mild sweetness.
• Use free-range or organic chicken if possible for cleaner, purer flavor.
• Let the soup simmer slowly; don’t rush. The slow infusion brings out depth without harshness.
• Drink it while warm and savor it—this is as much a ritual for your spirit as it is for your body.
