- 10-15 ginseng roots
- 30g dried Chinese yam
- 10 jujube dates
- 1/2 cup goji berries
- 8 cups water

- Bring the soup to a boil again, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it cool slightly, then cut it into serving pieces.
- Strain the soup through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pot. Discard the solids.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
