Recently, I’ve been addicted to making all kinds of Cantonese soup in the same way my mom cooks for the whole family, and it makes me feel home :)
Today, let’s make anther traditional Cantonese soup—American Ginseng Chicken Soup.
Ingredients: chicken (around two pound, you could either buy a whole chicken or just chicken drumsticks), one bag of American Ginseng mixed Chinese herbs (which you can find at any Chinese supermarket, please see the picture below), salt

| Packet of American Ginseng mixed Chinese herbs |
Cooker: a pot that can hold at least one gallon of water (around 8-10 bowls of water)
Step 1: cut chicken into chunks (if you use only chicken drumsticks, you don’t have to cut them, which is easier)
Step 2: boil one gallon of water in the pot
Step 3: put the cut chicken into the boiling water for 5 mins
Step 4: take chicken out of boiling water, get rid of chicken skin, and wash them with cold water (it makes sure that the meat is as less fat as possible, so the broth is clear and non-oily)

Step 8: turn down the cooking heat to slow till the water is boiling again
Step 9: slow cook the soup for an hour and a half
Step 10: add salt according your personal preference, and then the soup is ready to serve!

Just a bit more about this project, the Singapore Tourism Board's CHC on 46, 48 and 50 Pagoda Street is undertaking a revamp, with the addition of new galleries, artefact and stories.
One of the Galleries Roots & Early Life in Chinatown pays homage to a time of enormous social and economic change. There will be an interactive touch screen that invites visitors to learn more about the early days in Chinatown, focusing on the different ethnic groups and how they settle harmoniously.
While doing research on the internet, we came across pictures from your website which are relevant to the topics which we will be covering. Hence, we hope to gain permission from you / your organization to include them in our interactive.
