Sopa de Gallina India is a rich, traditional soup made with free-range hen (gallina india) simmered slowly with carrots, chayote, yucca, corn on the cob, cilantro, and onion, often served with white rice, lime, and homemade tortillas. Native to El Salvador, particularly in countryside regions like Chalatenango and Morazán, it’s a prized dish for Sunday lunches, celebrations, and family gatherings. The hen is typically slow-boiled for hours to create a flavorful, golden broth with tender meat. The term “India” refers to its rustic, free-range origin and stronger flavor compared to farmed chicken.

Common variations include a side of avocado, a dollop of hot sauce, or replacing hen with rooster (gallo) for a deeper taste.
