Canja de Galinha is a comforting chicken soup hailing from Portuguese cuisine, well-loved for its simplicity and nourishing qualities. Traditionally made with chicken, rice, onions, garlic, carrots, and parsley, it is often flavored with olive oil and sometimes garnished with celery or bay leaves. This hearty soup offers a wholesome balance of lean protein from the chicken, vitamins and minerals from the vegetables, and carbohydrates from the rice, making it a gentle option during illness or recovery. Olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, enhancing its nutritional profile. While low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, its sodium content can vary depending on the broth used, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Whether enjoyed as a starter or a main dish, Canja de Galinha embodies the warmth of home cooking with a health-conscious twist.
