Caldo De Pollo (Mexican Chicken Soup) image

I recently came back from Del Mar, CA, and a few of the Mexican restaurants served Sonoran-style Caldo De Pollo. I attempted to mimic this recipe as closely as I could to match the delicious soup I ate there. I'm open to suggestions to make this recipe better as this is my first time attempting it.

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1 ¼ pounds chicken tenders
3 extra large chicken bouillon cubes (such as Knorr®)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ large white onion, chopped, or to taste
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup white rice
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Combine 6 cups chicken broth, water, chicken tenders, chicken bouillon cubes, olive oil, granulated garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large pot; bring to a boil.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great. It's a bit spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
