I doubt this can be considered a stew because it is not thick, but it is chunky with vegetables. I love it, especially with some cilantro and lime. Yummy!

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs chicken, bone in, I usually use drumsticks
1 large onion, cut in eights
1 small green cabbage, cut in eights
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 chayotes, peeled and cut in chunks
16 ounces frozen corn on the cob, nibblers (6 ct)
2 medium carrots, cut in chunks
3 large potatoes, cut in chunks
3 celery ribs, cut in chunks
2 bay leaves
2 -3 quarts water (must cover the chicken)
salt and pepper
cilantro, roughly chopped for garnish
lime, cut into wedges
onion, diced for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse and dry chicken and place in stockpot. Add the corn on the cob nibblers with the chicken. Cover with water and season with salt.
  • Add onion, bay leaves and garlic and let simmer for about 20 minutes (longer if using bigger pieces of chicken).
  • Add the carrots, celery ribs, chayote, and potatoes and cook until vegetables are near tender.
  • Add the cabbage, add more salt if needed and add pepper. Let simmer for about 5-10 minutes until cabbage is tender.

This soup was just okay. I found the broth to be a bit too salty and the chicken was a bit dry.
