How to Say “Chicken Soup” in Japanese

チキンスープ
チキンスープ is the Japanese phrase for chicken soup.

Did you know?

  • In Japan, a common comfort food similar to chicken soup is お粥 (okayu), a savory rice porridge often cooked with chicken broth to help sick people recover.
  • Unlike in some Western cultures where chicken soup is a primary remedy for colds, Japanese people traditionally turn to 葛根湯 (kakkonto), a herbal medicine, for the same purpose.
  • Japanese cuisine features 鶏白湯 (tori paitan), a creamy, cloudy chicken soup made by boiling chicken bones for many hours, which is a staple in ramen shops.
