Strain, Don't Blend: The Trick Behind a Perfectly Light Chicken Pepper Soup

Dada's FoodCrave Kitchen walks through a West African-style chicken light soup (also known as chicken pepper soup) that's warming, brothy, and intentionally light. The key technique involves boiling tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions separately then straining the blended mixture into the chicken for a clear, delicate broth. Finished with potatoes, smoked paprika, and cilantro, it's a satisfying but light meal perfect for cold days.
