Goan soup

Canja de Goa (Goan soup) is a typical soup of the Indo-Portuguese cuisine of Goa, Daman and Diu, which once formed part of the Portuguese India, and is inspired by Portuguese soup.[1]

It is prepared with chicken, choris sausage, onion, garlic, rice, water and salt. All the ingredients are cooked together in a saucepan or pressure cooker and chicken broth is added.[1]

According to Goan tradition, it was made for women who gave birth in the family home. After the first birth, the mothers-in-law sent the brides a bottle of port wine and six chickens, to be used in preparing the soup, since this was considered a good food for mothers and convalescents.[1]

It is consumed for breakfast or as a late-morning meal, together with curry from the previous day, sweet mango chutney and salted fish. Sometimes it is transported to the fields by children, in a vessel of clay, for their parents and older siblings working there.[1]
