Season with coarse sea salt to taste. The flavor will become stronger once the soup becomes slightly cooler. If preferred, you may strain the broth with a sieve. The goji berries, Chinese yam, and Logan are edible. You can serve them with the soup or discard with the rest of the herbs.* You may also set the chicken aside and shred the meat and then add them back to the soup pot.

Serve with a side salad and roasted squash/potatoes. Please try not to stir-in/add other leafy greens to the soup pot as it might change the flavor of the broth. It’s best to serve the salad aside or add a handful leafy greens (ex. baby spinach) to individual serving bowls.
