Kusksu

Soups and Broths

Kusksu is a traditional Maltese soup made primarily from seasonal broad beans, small pasta beads and fresh ġbejniet cheese. The small pasta beads that give the soup's name resemble couscous but are lighter and fluffier, described locally as a miniature pasta thick enough to hold up to simmering, and once cooked they give the soup a creamy, warm texture.
