New addition to KFC menus? Fried soup

Why slurp your soup when you can eat it fried.

With an apparent nod to the growing fried food state fair obsession in the U.S., KFC Japan annou📖nced it will be oಞffering a deep-fried soup product this month.

The chain will somehow cover its soup corn potage — a creamy soup snack — with a deep-fried crust, not unlike the kind concocted by fry masters at the State Fair of Texas who came up with Deep Fried Kool-Aid or Deep Fried Coke.

The dee♒p-fried soup will be available for a limited time only at KFC locations acr🍎oss Japan starting Sept. 5.

The result is a crisp corn fritter you can pick up with🎉 chopsticks, but has a creamy and soft center.

Its secret recipe and technique remain somewhat of a secret, but “We bread the corn potage and cook it to a crisp.”
