Dried squid are thin strips or bodies of squid dried (sometimes salted and sweetened), firm, chewy, with a concentrated saltish-sweet marine umami taste. They are eaten as a snack with beer, lightly toasted or warmed over a flame, soaked for soups and stir-fries, cut into Asian salads, rice and noodles and into kimchi.

Chicken soup with dried squid is a refined dish of Mediterranean cuisine, combining the tenderness of chicken meat and the rich flavor of seafood. This soup may trace back to the traditions of coastal regions where squid were used to add depth to broths. Light yet nourishing, it warms and satisfies wonderfully. Vermicelli or spaghetti provide texture, while dried squid unfolds, filling the soup with subtle umami notes. The finishing touch is fresh chopped parsley and crispy potato chips that add freshness and contrast. This soup is perfect for lunch or a light dinner, especially on cool days when warmth and coziness are desired.
