Our pick for a day when you’re feeling under the weather. Herbal chicken soup was an acquired taste growing up, but these days we love its deep, complex flavor. One pot, a few ingredients, and an hour of simmering.

Ingredients

For the soup

• Chicken thighs
• Mugwort
• Herbal soup pack (we got ours from Weee!)
• 1 tsp rock sugar or cane sugar
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon
• Water, to cover

For serving

• Instant noodles

Instructions

1. Blanch the mugwort and drain.
2. Line the bottom of a pot with the mugwort. Place the chicken on top and add the herbal soup pack.
3. Add water to cover, then the sugar and chicken bouillon.
4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour.
5. Serve with instant noodles.
