About Chicken souse

Chicken Souse is a traditional Bahamian soup, celebrated for its tangy and flavorful blend of simple, wholesome ingredients. Typically made with chicken pieces, lime juice, onion, garlic, allspice, hot pepper, and potatoes, this dish is simmered to create a light, hearty broth. Sometimes carrots and celery are added for extra nutrients and texture. Originating in Caribbean cuisine, Chicken Souse is enjoyed for its balance of savory and citrus flavors. Nutritionally, the dish offers lean protein from the chicken and vitamins from the vegetables, making it a relatively healthy option. It’s low in fat and high in hydration due to its broth-based preparation. However, depending on the quantity of seasoning and lime juice used, it may be high in sodium or acidity, which some may need to consume in moderation. Chicken Souse is a vibrant comfort food that’s both nourishing and satisfying.
