In reply to Paul. Hi, Paul The Black Chicken so nice You can add vegetables to the soup, but I recommend adding them after the soup is cooked to avoid cooking the vegetables for too long. Chinese or Western is fine.

Hi Elaine,
I recently visited a Chinese Supermarket and bought a Tonic Soup Herb pack. I think it may be suitable for this recipe. I also have in the fridge a lovely free range Norfolk Black Chicken…not black like your Black Chicken but possibly descended from it.
Could I add any vegetables to the soup? Chinese or Western.

Paul:-)

Hello, Elaine! Can I replace Honey dates with Medjool or Deglett Noor dates? Thank you!

Eager to try this, Elaine. But just wondering if the 823 calories per serving is accurate? is it for the whole dish perhaps? Please clarify! Also, are you supposed eat the herbal ingredients?

In reply to Frankie. I guess the red color is brought by red dates. Change your red dates to better quality or add it later.

My broth came out red cloudy looking and not milky like yours. Any idea what might have caused the broth to taint? I used black silkie chicken. Thanks!

In reply to Chris. Yes, fresh yam works fine with this soup. But the flavor is slightly different from dried version.
