Ingredients

• 400 grams okra
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 250 grams chicken breast

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the okra thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into small cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cayenne pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Add the chicken cubes to the pot, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown slightly.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 9

Add the sliced okra to the pot, season with salt and black pepper, and reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 10

Cover the pot and let the soup cook for about 20-25 minutes, until the okra is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 11

Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 12

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Step 13

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
