A simple midday tonic soup can support stable energy without heaviness.

Try a Chicken & Red Date Broth — light protein, warming herbs, easy prep. 1. Ingredients: 400ml water, 1 small piece lean chicken breast (or tofu), 6 red dates, 1 tbsp goji berries, 2 slices ginger.

2.  Method: Simmer gently 20–30 minutes; season lightly with salt if needed. Strain and drink warm; small bowl as a mid-day supplement.

3.  Portioning: Save half as a warm snack later; reheats well.

4.  Adaptation: Make vegetarian by replacing chicken with shiitake mushroom + a splash of toasted sesame oil. #NourishingSoup #MiddayBooster #ChineseCuisine #FoodTherapy #EasyRecipe
