Huaishan Chicken Soup

Today made the usual huaishan soup for dinner.. Using a mix of big bones, chicken feet and drumsticks as base. Still feel nicer with ikan billis soup base then adding the chinese dried stuff to simmer!! If you wanna try the ikan billis soup base, refer to my notes below! I feel it taste slightly sweeter! 

Tried the fresh huaishan before and it taste like potatoes to me. But the kids dont fancy so I used the dried ones instead. Apparently, the huaishan benefits people with conditions related to stomach, kidney, lungs or skin! Its definitely good for the ‘growing older’ me. And of cos for the kids! This us 1 of the staple soup that I always cook for the family! Try it!!
