Chicken souse

Chicken souse is a Bahamian soup that like other souses, is a clear broth where the meat and the vegetables are boiled down in the juice of fresh citrus.

This is a soup that is generally present on all Bahamian weekend tables to appease the side effects of long nights of partying. Souse is composed of two main ingredients: lime and hot chili pepper.

Bahamians are known for their art of preparing excellent alcoholic beverages. It was therefore necessary for them to master the art of preparing a cure for hangover. And the souse is the cure! You will find Chicken Souse simmering away on most cooktops on the weekends in the Bahamas.
