Canja de galinha

Soups and Broths

Canja de galinha, or simply canja, is a popular chicken soup of Portuguese, Cape Verdean and Brazilian cuisine. The Portuguese term galinha literally means hen but became the generic name for the species, much like chicken in English. The rice in canja is cooked much softer than in most Western chicken soup recipes, though not disintegrated as in similar Asian preparations.
