The Chinese soup is a very popular dish in Madagascar, especially in large cities like Antananarivo, Antsirabe, and Tamatave, where the Chinese community has had a significant influence on the local cuisine. Brought over by Chinese immigrants who settled in Madagascar in the early 20th century, Chinese soup quickly gained popularity among the Malagasy people thanks to its rich flavors and comforting ingredients.Typically, Malagasy Chinese soup is made with a meat broth (often chicken or beef), noodles, vegetables like cabbage or carrots, and pieces of meat or fish. It can also be enhanced with soy sauce, ginger, and sometimes meatballs or shrimp. This dish is commonly served in local Chinese restaurants but is also found in street food stalls, appreciated for its hearty nature and affordability.
