Guinea fowl soup

by | Jan 24, 2025 | Soups

Guinea fowl is a special kind of bird with meat that is richer and more flavorful than chicken or turkey. It has a slightly gamey taste, making it a favorite in Hungarian kitchens. Though not as common as other poultry, it’s well-loved during the holiday season, especially around Christmas, when families gather to share warm and hearty meals.

This recipe for guinea fowl soup highlights everything that makes this bird unique. Slow-cooked with simple spices and fresh root vegetables, the soup brings out the rich flavor of the meat while staying light and healthy. Guinea fowl is often raised in free-range environments, so it’s not only delicious but also a natural and sustainable choice.

If you’ve never tried cooking with guinea fowl before, don’t worry – it’s easier than you think. Follow these steps, and you’ll create a comforting dish that’s perfect for special occasions or a cozy dinner at home.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
