ISLAMABAD, Dec 9 (APP):Chicken corn soup has cemented its place as a winter staple in the capital, bringing warmth and joy to residents while offering an affordable luxury.
Among the most renowned places are Melody Food Park at G-6 and one prominent soup spot in G-9 Markaz, where customers gather to enjoy this seasonal favorite.
At Melody Food Park, Ahsan Haideri, a veteran shopkeeper, has been running a prominent soup stall for over three decades. “;It’s been thirty years, and most families visit us to enjoy our soup in this cool weather,” he shared proudly.
Haideri’s stall offers two options: chicken corn soup without egg for Rs 150 per serving and with egg for Rs 200.
“;The rates are affordable and within reach of all segments of society,” he added, noting, “;The egg-enhanced variant is the crowd favourite.”
“;Ensuring quality and hygiene was a priority for Haideri and that is the reason people prefer our stall. The soup business is especially profitable in winter, and I recommend others to consider starting this business during the colder months,” he advised. However, he urged the relevant authorities to provide relief on stall rents amidst rising inflation.
Kashif, a frequent visitor to Melody Food Street, described his fondness for the soup saying, “;In cold weather, I prefer chicken corn soup with egg. It’s delicious and affordable compared to other food options, making it accessible to all classes of society.”
“;I often take away parcels for my family, they all like the taste of my favourite place,” he added.
In G-9 Markaz, Osama Iqbal manages a family-run business which is in operation for over 35 years. “;Our soup spot is a favourite among all age groups,” he said.
“;We ensure quality and hygiene at controlled rates, which has helped us build a loyal customer base,” he added.
The soup spot offers a single serving of chicken corn soup for Rs 160 without egg and Rs 200 with egg, which is prepared using a unique homemade recipe with a ‘Desi Tarqa’ twist. The spot also features a family hall and a newly built rooftop where patrons can enjoy their meals.
One regular customer, Alizay, who resides in G-9 said, “;I, along with my family, visit here daily. Their chicken corn soup is my favourite, as it has more chicken chunks and egg pieces than other spots,” she said.
“;The affordable prices make it accessible to everyone,” she added.
