    This delicious and aromatic cordycep flowers chicken soup is
    excellent for both children and adults. It replenishes energy,
    improves eyesight and builds up immune system.

    Blanch chicken in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse and set
    aside.

    Rinse all dried ingredients. Place all ingredients (except the goji
    berries) into a soup pot. (I used a claypot). Bring to a boil, then
    reduce to low heat and simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

    Add goji berries in the last 10 minutes of cooking. If you like the
    goji berries to be very soft and broken, add them right at the
    beginning of cooking.

    Season with salt if necessary and serve. (I didn't add any salt into
    the soup as I found it adequately flavorful.)

    Notes:

    Remove skin from the chicken if you do not want a layer of oil in your
    soup. Otherwise, use a fine mesh strainer to remove the layer of oil.
