About Molokhia soup

Molokhia soup, a traditional dish rooted in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine, is a flavorful and nutrient-packed meal. This soup is made from molokhia leaves, also known as jute mallow, which are finely chopped and simmered in a savory broth often flavored with garlic, lemon, and spices. Common additions include chicken, beef, lamb, or vegetable stock, and it is typically served with rice or pita bread. Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, molokhia leaves provide antioxidants that support immune health, while their fiber content aids digestion. The soup is also a source of magnesium and potassium, promoting heart and muscle health. However, sodium levels can be high depending on the broth or added seasonings, so mindful preparation is recommended. Low in fat and high in nutrients, Molokhia soup offers a delicious way to enjoy healthful ingredients while exploring traditional flavors.
