Canja Soup
Canja Soup
Canja soup is a traditional Portuguese or Brazilian soup made with chicken, rice, and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 pounds) cut into pieces
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 carrots diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup white rice
- 6 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, add the chicken pieces, chopped onion, diced carrots, minced garlic, and chicken broth.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Let the soup simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the bones and skin.
- Meanwhile, add the rice to the pot and cook it according to the package instructions, usually around 15-20 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked, return the shredded chicken to the pot and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Let the canja simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the canja hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
