Those visiting Japan this fall will want to pick up some KFC fried soup. Yes, the American chicken chain is set to begin offering deep-fried soup in the Land of the Rising Sun. The soup in question is corn potage, a creamy soup that has recently exploded in popularity.
KFC fried soup is devilishly simple to make; at least the chicken chain makes it seem that way. KFC will use simple bread in the soup and then drop it in the fryer! The soup will be available for a limited time and is set to go on sale come September 5. While something like this might not fly in America, Asian fast-food restaurants are known for “odd” items (by North American standards).
