About Jamaican chicken red peas soup with food

Jamaican Chicken Red Peas Soup with Food is a hearty traditional dish from Jamaican cuisine. Built around kidney beans (locally known as "red peas"), it features tender pieces of chicken simmered in a flavorful broth seasoned with thyme, scallions, garlic, and pimento. This soup is enriched with "food," a Jamaican term for provisions like yam, dumplings, and potatoes, which add bulk and texture. It's nutrient-packed, offering protein from the chicken and kidney beans, fiber from the legumes, and essential vitamins and minerals from the roots and vegetables. The soup is naturally rich and filling but can be high in sodium depending on the seasoning or use of stock. For a healthier spin, use fresh ingredients, moderate salt, and lean cuts of chicken. Perfectly balanced in taste and nutrition, it’s a satisfying and wholesome meal that celebrates Jamaica’s culinary heritage.
