Popular chicken soup of Portuguese and Brazilian cuisine

About this dish

Canja de galinha (European Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐ̃ʒɐ ðɨ ɣɐˈlĩɲɐ], Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐ̃ʒɐ dʒi gaˈlĩj̃ɐ], (literally "chicken congee"), 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. Portuguese chicken congee has the rice much more cooked than in most Western chicken soup recipes, but it is not disintegrated as in the Asian one.
