Chinese chicken soup with ginseng

This soup has chicken, dried longans (龍眼), goji berries (杞子), apricot kernels (南北杏), Solomon's seal rhizome (玉竹) and ginseng (花旗參).

I have to say, I grew up drinking a lot of chicken and ginseng soup from my mom.  I hated them, especially the ginseng.  Now, even the smell of the dried ginseng straight from the jar is awesome to me.  B thinks it smells moldy.  Not so.  It has a subtle taste in the soup and the soup is oh so delicious.
