Equipment
Ingredients
- 11 cups Water
- 1 cube Chicken Bullion
- 4-5 Chicken Thighs or Breast
- 6 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1 Medium Potato peeled and diced
- 1-2 Carrots shredded, or peeled and chopped
- 1/3 cup Cilantro chopped
- 1/2 cup Sofrito
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Garlic Salt
- 1 tsp Sazon
- 1 tbsp Cumin
- 1 1/2 tbsp Adobo
- 1.5 cups Soup Noodles
Instructions
- First take your chicken (this could be thighs or breast, but thighs have more flavor), clean, remove skin, and season with about 1.5 tbsp of Adobo and 1 tbsp of cumin. Set this aside in a bowl.
- For this recipe, I recommend taking the time to make your own chicken stock vs just pouring in broth that is pre-manufactured. It will not take a long time, and the flavor is worth the additional wait. To do this, take a stock or dutch oven, and pour in 11 cups of water. Bring this to a boil.
- Once water comes to a boil, reduce the heat, and place seasoned chicken in the pot, and allow this to boil for about 1 hour with the lid on. During this time, check on your chicken periodically in case any fat or foam renders to the top. You can remove this with a spoon.
- After an hour, your chicken will be very tender. Remove the chicken from the pot and pull off any fat. Shred chicken and return it to the pot. You can discard any fat and bones.
- Next add the seasonings and vegetables: 1 chicken bullion cube, 1 tsp sazon, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 cup sofrito, 6 garlic cloves, minced, 1-2 carrots shredded, 1/3 cup chopped cilantro. Stir these ingredients around, allow them to cook with the chicken for about 30 more minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Once the carrots are tender, add 1 cup of diced potatoes. Allow these to cook for about 10 minutes.
- Once your potatoes are cooked, add 1 cup of soup noodles. Once noodles are al dente, your soup will be ready to eat! Serve and garnish with more cilantro or an avocado. ¡Que Rico! Enjoy!
