Fully Capable and Delicious on its Own, Sopa Verde Can Also Be Paired with Viva’s Unique Take on Caesar Salad for an Unforgettable Meal Full of Flavor, Intention and Peruvian Tradition
Charlotte, NC (RestaurantNews.com) At Viva Chicken, gone doesn’t mean gone for good.
The Charlotte-based, award-winning rotisserie chicken champion, with 15 restaurants across North and South Carolina and as far West as Utah, today announced it is bringing back a guest favorite, its popular Sopa Verde, a spectacular mix of Viva’s famous rotisserie chicken, corn, quinoa, red and green onions, red pepper, huacatay sauce, topped with feta and cilantro, served with toasted ciabatta.
Crafted for the season and favorably priced, a 24-oz bowl of Sopa Verde is $9.95 each. It is available through March 8, 2026. Guests can pair a 9-oz cup of Sopa Verde or Chicken Soup with Viva’s signature salad, Caesar Salad, for $14.95. Caesar Salad, which includes crisp Romaine, hearts of palm, tomatoes, shaved parmesan cheese tossed in a huacatay Caesar dressing and topped with croutons, is still priced at $9.75 as a standalone.
“We are always thrilled to respond to our guests’ wishes, and during the winter months, Sopa Verde is always at the top of the list,” said Ms. Sharyn Knight, Viva Chicken’s Director of Marketing. “Many of our fans didn’t want to face the choice between our everyday favorite Caesar Salad or our limited-time offering; so, we perfected pairing the two at a pleasing price, with chicken soup as an option as well.”
Viva Chicken marinates fresh, all-natural chicken to the bone in a bold Peruvian spice blend for more than 24 hours, allowing every piece to absorb rich flavor, so each bite bursts with the vibrant essence of Peru’s traditional taste. Once marinated, the chicken is slow-roasted over open flames in a custom charcoal rotisserie oven, locking in juices, crisping the skin, and infusing each piece with authentic Peruvian smokiness, creating perfectly roasted chicken, juicy, tender, and packed with unforgettable flavor. From the first sizzle to the final slice, Viva Chicken delivers a dining experience that’s simple, soulful, and full of heart. Like its chicken, Viva’s signature sauces and juices are made fresh daily, just as you would find in Peru.
Late last year, when it unveiled its Top Ten Resolutions featuring Viva Chicken, the brand announced its Family Meals mid-week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, would remain priced at $25.99 in 2026.
Throughout the year, Viva Chicken’s customizable catering options, featuring fresh ingredients and wholesome, vibrant produce prepped daily, bring Peruvian rotisserie chicken and more to any event, delighting guests during holidays, parties and beyond.
