Chinese Eternal Life Chicken Soup
Restore your energy with Chinese Eternal Life Chicken Soup! I really do love my homemade Chinese Eternal Life Chicken Soup!
Today, I’m sharing a Chicken Soup recipe. Chinese Eternal Life Chicken Soup means ginseng chicken soup and it is a popular stamina food in China.
Chinese ancestors believed that you can supplement your energy by having this soup.
This soup keeps you young and healthy. It’s a perfect soup in winter (or any other cooler season) simply because it’s warm and gives you nice soothing comfort.
My family’s been really enjoying this soup and that really made me pleased. I hope you give this recipe a try soon for your family too. Hope you all like it and feel healthy!

Ingredients
- Broth
Try to use cornish chicken as the typically recommended chicken size for Chinese Eternal Life Chicken Soup is about 400 g / 0.9 pounds per serving.
1500g water
- Stuffing
1/4 cup sweet rice (mochi rice or sticky rice), soaked in water for 2 hours (this can be done overnight and kept in the fridge)
1 dried or fresh Chinese ginseng or American ginseng (I used 15g of dried ginseng)
4 whole garlic cloves, peeled
5 dried jujube
3 to 4 ginko nuts, peeled if not already (optional)
3 to 4 fresh or frozen chest nuts, peeled if not already (optional)
- To serve
few green onion, thinly sliced
fine sea salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Wash the chicken (including the cavity) thoroughly under running cold water.
- Stuff the chicken cavity with sweet rice, ginseng, garlic cloves, jujube, gingko nuts, and chest nuts. Cross the chicken legs and tie them with a cotton string.
- Pour the water into a large pot and add the stuffed chicken. Boil the pot over medium-high heat, covered, for 20 mins. Reduce the heat to medium to medium-low and boil further until the chicken is fully cooked (about 30 mins further). And, make sure the stuffed sweet rice is fully cooked.
- Put chicken and soup in a bowl. Garnish with green onion and serve immediately. Make a salt and black pepper mixture (one plate per person). You can dip chicken pieces in this sauce or add to the soup as needed.
Notes
- Prepare the kitchen scissors. You could debone the whole chicken after cooking but prior to serving for the convenience of individuals. (This is how we serve it at home.)
