32oz TCM Black Chicken Soup
Monday Healing Soup — Black Chicken & TCM Herb Broth
Weekly preorder — pickup Monday at Sichuan Kitchen SLO
Black chicken, also known as silkie chicken (乌鸡 / wū jī), has been prized in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries — not just for its striking appearance, but for its remarkable nutritional profile. Unlike conventional chicken, black chicken is naturally higher in carnosine, iron, and antioxidants, with a darker, more mineral-rich meat that reflects its unique genetics. In TCM, it's considered a warming, restorative food — traditionally used to nourish the blood, support kidney and liver health, and strengthen the body during recovery or seasonal transitions.
Our Monday soup is made with locally raised black chicken from Creston Valley Meats, slow-simmered with a house blend of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs and seasonal vegetables. The result is a clean, deeply nourishing broth that's as comforting as it is intentional.
To order: Place your order by Sunday night and your soup will be ready for pickup Monday 3-8pm at our kitchen (2078 Parker St.)
