ISLAMABAD, Dec 9 :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.
\nAmong 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.
\nAt Melody Food Park, Ahsan Haideri, a veteran shopkeeper, has been running a prominent soup stall for over three decades. \u201cIt\u2019s been thirty years, and most families visit us to enjoy our soup in this cool weather,\u201d he shared proudly.<\/p>\n
Haideri\u2019s stall offers two options: chicken corn soup without egg for Rs 150 per serving and with egg for Rs 200.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe rates are affordable and within reach of all segments of society,\u201d he added, noting, \u201cThe egg-enhanced variant is the crowd favourite.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEnsuring 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,\u201d he advised. However, he urged the relevant authorities to provide relief on stall rents amidst rising inflation.
\nKashif, a frequent visitor to Melody Food Street, described his fondness for the soup saying, \u201cIn cold weather, I prefer chicken corn soup with egg. It\u2019s delicious and affordable compared to other food options, making it accessible to all classes of society.\u201d
\n\u201cI often take away parcels for my family, they all like the taste of my favourite place,\u201d he added.
\nIn G-9 Markaz, Osama Iqbal manages a family-run business which is in operation for over 35 years. \u201cOur soup spot is a favourite among all age groups,\u201d he said.

\nThe 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 \u2018Desi Tarqa\u2019 twist. The spot also features a family hall and a newly built rooftop where patrons can enjoy their meals.
\nOne regular customer, Alizay, who resides in G-9 said, \u201cI, 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,\u201d she said.
