Aquadito (Peruvian Chicken Soup) image

This is a traditional Peruvian chicken soup recipe with a little twist. My grandparents taught my mom and my mom taught me and then I tweaked it. Incredibly filling and simple to make. This is a great one-pot recipe.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 cup carrots, chopped
4 medium potatoes, cubed
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
1 bunch cilantro, chopped, or to taste
1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
6 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until chicken is browned on all sides and onion is slightly translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add carrots, potatoes, and celery, tossing to warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice and top with cilantro. Turn off heat.
  • Sprinkle a layer of cumin on top. Pour in chicken broth and beer; turn heat on medium-low and simmer until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. Let cool slightly before serving.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a waste of time and money. The broth was tasteless and the chicken was dry. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This soup was a disappointment. The broth was watery and the chicken was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was okay. The broth was a bit bland for my taste, but the chicken was tender. I think I would have preferred it if the broth had been more flavorful.

This soup was good, but not great. The broth was flavorful, but the chicken was a bit dry. I think I would have preferred it if the chicken had been cooked in the broth for a longer period of time.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was pretty good. I might try making it again with less chili peppers next time.

This soup was just okay. The broth was a little too salty for my taste, and the chicken was a bit dry. I probably won't be making this again.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add a little extra cilantro and lime juice to the broth, and I always serve it with a side of rice.

I've never had aquadito before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It's so flavorful and comforting. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the broth was packed with flavor. I especially loved the addition of the corn and peas.
