KUSKSU



Kusksu image

Kusksu is a traditional Maltese soup typically made in Spring. It has three main components: a broth made from tomato paste, broad beans, and Kusksu which is a thick bead of wheat pasta. We finish the soup by adding a mozzarella ball in the centre of the bowl prior to serving. It melts slowly giving a fresh and nice texture to the soup.

6 MALTESE SOUPS TO WARM YOUR SOUL THIS WINTER
6-maltese-soups-to-warm-your-soul-this-winter image

From guidememalta.com
  • Minestra. One of the oldest local soup recipes on the islands, minestra was also previously referred to as the poor man’s meal, and has formed part of the culinary experience of many a Maltese child.
  • Kawlata. The kawlata is very similar to minestra – just add pork or sausage and let the mixture simmer for a long time on low heat. Rice or barley is also added towards the end as with the vegetarian version, to create a one-pot meal in which you get your seven-a-day, with some added carbs and protein.
  • Soppa ta’ l-armla. Soppa ta’ l-armla (widow’s soup) is another vegetable-packed soup, and a meal in a bowl. As tradition has it, the soup derives its name from the story of a widow who depended wholly on her husband’s income for buying food stock.
  • Kusksu bil-ful. The filling soup known as kusksu bil-ful (small pasta beads with broad beans) is also seasonal, requiring the eponymous ful (broad beans) and local peas to make it complete.
  • Aljotta. This speciality – a fish soup similar to the French bouillabaisse – may be one of the most recognised of Maltese soups since it is ubiquitous in traditional restaurants.
  • Brodu. There is literally no end to the many pleasures of the brodu. A heart-warming broth – usually made from simmering a tough-cut of meat on a low flame for a minimum of four hours with some onions, carrots and marrows – this has to up there with the most delicately yet intensely flavoured Japanese kaiseki miso soups or haute French cuisine.
