Colombian Chicken Soup image

This rich stew-like soup is similar to the rustic sancochos found in home-style Latin American restaurants. Traditionally, the chicken is cooked in the soup, removed, and served on the side. For authentic accompaniments, try white rice cooked in chicken stock and a simple green salad with Russian dressing.
