Chicken soup is famous a little bit all around the world and Portugal is no different, where is called ‘canja de galinha’. Do vegans have to miss out and forget about chicken soup? No way! This is very easy to ‘veganise’, more so with so many vegan versions of ‘chicken’, available pretty much everywhere. Do you really want to eat a soup, usually to feel better whilst fighting a cold, that has little legs, wings and feet swimming around your bowl? Those body parts once belonged to a sentient being… maybe take a minute to think about this!
