Yemenite chicken soup

Chicken second courses

This is a delicious variation on traditional chicken soup, with spice combinations you've probably never tasted before. I'll show you how to make all the Yemenite spices so you'll get it just right: hawayij (a spice combination), z'hug (a hot sauce used in soups or as a condiment, or even a rub for fish or chicken), and hilbe (a creamy sauce often added to soups). One note: The hilbe requires soaking fenugreek powder for three hours, so you'll want to get that soaking *first*; the rest of the spices you can make while the soup is cooking.
