About Canja galinha
Canja de Galinha, a traditional Portuguese chicken soup, is a comforting dish enjoyed for generations. Its simple yet nutritious ingredients typically include chicken, rice, onions, garlic, carrots, and occasionally potatoes or fresh herbs like parsley. This hearty soup is rooted in Portuguese cuisine but has been embraced by Brazilian and other Lusophone cultures. Packed with protein from the chicken and fiber from the vegetables, Canja de Galinha is often regarded as a nourishing and restorative meal, especially during illness. Low in fat when prepared without added oils, it offers warming, easy-to-digest nutrients. However, sodium content can be a concern if excessive salt or store-bought broth is used. For a healthier version, fresh ingredients and low-sodium alternatives are recommended. This wholesome soup carries cultural significance while serving as a versatile, health-conscious option for any diet.
