Molukhia is a popular vegetable in Middle Eastern and African cuisine. The leaves of the plant are used to make a nutritious and flavorful soup that is enjoyed as a main dish. The plant is easy to grow and can be found fresh or frozen in many specialty markets. The soup is often served with white rice or crusty bread. This recipe calls for chicken broth and chicken pieces, but it can also be made with beef or lamb broth for a heartier taste.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, bring the chicken broth and chicken pieces to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
2.	Remove the chicken from the pot and shred the meat into small pieces. Set aside.
3.	In a separate pan, sauté the onions and garlic in corn oil until they are translucent.
4.	Add the maggi chicken bouillon cubes, allspice, and the shredded chicken to the pot with the chicken broth.
5.	Bring the mixture to a boil and then add the frozen molukhia. Stir until it is well combined and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the soup is thick and creamy.
