About Canja
Canja is a traditional Brazilian chicken soup with Portuguese origins, often served as comfort food or a remedy for colds. It typically includes shredded chicken, rice, onions, garlic, carrots, and sometimes potatoes, all simmered in a flavorful broth. Variations may incorporate herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness. Known for its simplicity, Canja is both nutritious and easy on the stomach, making it ideal for recovery meals or lighter fare. With lean protein from chicken, fiber from vegetables, and energy-boosting carbohydrates from rice, it provides a balanced dish that's relatively low in fat. However, sodium content can sometimes be high depending on the broth used, so opting for homemade or low-sodium versions is a healthier choice. Rich in micronutrients like vitamin A and essential minerals, Canja is a wholesome and satisfying option rooted in vibrant culinary traditions.
