The herbs in this recipe reminded me of a time when i was maybe 10 years old and I went to my best friend's house and her mom made black chicken herbal soup. I was completely shocked and I didn't enjoy it at all but had to force myself to eat it. But I do like steamed herbal chicken.Thanks for all the background info.Nora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31475215.post-74830306211031176422007-07-11T10:43:00.000-07:002007-07-11T10:43:00.000-07:00Ah, I would have done the lazy thing and tossed th...Ah, I would have done the lazy thing and tossed them all into a soup pot. :)Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.com
