Supu Ya Kuku, Chicken Soup of Zanzibar image

This chicken soup tastes better on the second day, so make it ahead of time if you can. A little curry might be added unless a curried dish is served in the same meal. The real trick is to saute vegetables first and then proceed to make the soup. This, by the way, is a chef's secret for making superb soups. Save the rest of the chicken (fowl) for salad for another meal. Supu Ya Kuku may also be made when there is leftover chicken available. In that case use four chicken bouillon cubes following given method without the fowl, but use 2 cups of diced chicken instead of 1.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the chicken. It was still very good! The vegetables are cooked to perfection and the broth is very flavorful. I will definitely be making this soup again.

I'm allergic to chicken, so I made this soup with tofu instead. It turned out great! The tofu is a good substitute for the chicken and the soup is still very flavorful.

This soup is bland and tasteless. I'm very disappointed. I won't be making this soup again.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't be making it again.

This soup is delicious! The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and savory. I love the addition of the coconut milk and spices. It really gives the soup a unique and exotic flavor.
