This article explores Haitian bouyon, a dish that falls somewhere between soup and stew. The author shares a family recipe using chicken, herbs, aromatics, and viv (starchy vegetables), highlighting the tradition of cooking provisions separately to create a rich broth.
Haitian bouyon is somewhere between a soup and a stew. Often made with beef, in our house it’s only ever made with chicken. The meat is simmered with herbs and aromatics, similar to the method found in Poul ak Nwa , combined with veggies and viv . This is the recipe that was made for me most days after I’d given birth to our daughter.
If you can’t access any of these tubers, which can be found at Caribbean, African, and sometimes Asian groceries, regular potatoes and Japanese sweet potatoes make decent substitutes. Any kind of green works well in addition to, or in lieu of, the watercress; try spinach, shredded kale, collards, or Swiss chard. If you’re using a hardier green, let it simmer a few minutes before serving.
