Zanzibar-Style Chicken Soup Recipe: A Taste of Supu Ya Kuku

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I had to try this soup simply because of its name, which is so much fun to say. Because I had no cabbage, I thinly sliced some fresh spinach and added it to the soup bowls and poured the hot soup over it, which was enough to cook it. For our tastes, the amount of the added ingredients was not enough for this amount of broth. I would probably also add a bay leaf and some peppercorns next time to the water, to boost the flavor. So I cooked up more onion, celery and tomato and added it with additional chicken, and I would then rate this a 4 star. If you prefer a more minimalist soup, then you will really like this as is, but if you are like me and like just a little more stuff with your broth, be prepared to double the other ingredients.

    Supu Ya Kuku, Chicken Soup of Zanzibar, This chicken soup tastes better on the second day, so make it ahead of time if you can A little curry might be added unless a curried dish is served in the same meal The real trick is to saute vegetables first and then proceed to make the soup This, by the way, is a chef’s secret for making superb soups Save the rest of the chicken (fowl) for salad for another meal Supu Ya Kuku may also be made when there is leftover chicken available In that case use four chicken bouillon cubes following given method without the fowl, but use 2 cups of diced chicken instead of 1 , I had to try this soup simply because of its name, which is so much fun to say Because I had no cabbage, I thinly sliced some fresh spinach and added it to the soup bowls and poured the hot soup over it, which was enough to cook it For our tastes, the amount of the added ingredients was not enough for this amount of broth I would probably also add a bay leaf and some peppercorns next time to the water, to boost the flavor So I cooked up more onion, celery and tomato and added it with additional chicken, and I would then rate this a 4 star If you prefer a more minimalist soup, then you will really like this as is, but if you are like me and like just a little more stuff with your broth, be prepared to double the other ingredients , This chicken soup tastes better on the second day, so make it ahead of time if you can A little curry might be added unless a curried dish is served in the same meal The real trick is to saute vegetables first and then proceed to make the soup This, by the way, is a chef’s secret for making superb soups Save the rest of the chicken (fowl) for salad for another meal Supu Ya Kuku may also be made when there is leftover chicken available In that case use four chicken bouillon cubes following given method without the fowl, but use 2 cups of diced chicken instead of 1
