Steps:
- Combine the chicken stock, chicken pieces, onion, parsley, and lemon zest in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer covered until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken pieces and cool enough to handle. Remove and discard the skin and bones and cut or tear the meat into small pieces.
- Strain the soup through cheesecloth (muslin) and discard the solids. Return the stock and meat to the pot and add the rice, mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves.
PORTUGUESE CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE (CANJA)
Steps:
- Add the chicken, onion, water, and salt, into a large pot. Cook on medium-high for about 50 minutes.
- Pour the rice into the chicken broth and stir. Cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender. If you notice the chicken soup is too thick, add another cup or two of water, stir, and cook just until hot. I added 1 extra cup of water.
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
- Enjoy!

Recipes for the book were contributed by American Cape Verdeans who are active in preserving their cultural heritage. The Cape Verde Islands are located about 300 miles west of Senegal. Many Cape Verdeans migrated to the Atlantic coast of the U.S., many to Rhode island.
