How to Make Canja Cape Verde Islands Rich Chicken Rice Soup
- Saute 1 medium diced onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1.5 lbs of bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces and 2 chicken bouillon cubes to the pot. Saute for another 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Pour in 3 cups of water, bringing the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender. Add more water if needed to achieve your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones.
- Return the shredded chicken to the soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot and enjoy!
