SIMPLE CHICKEN STEW/SOUP
A wonderful meal for a cold night. (I hate cooked carrots. Cooking them this way makes them fall apart & become part of the broth. You still get the nutrients without actually biting into them.)

CALDO DE POLLO--MEXICAN CHICKEN STEW/SOUP
This soup is a recipe of my friend's father who passed away a few years ago. It is soooo delicious I was shocked when I found out how easy it is to make!! the El Pato sauce called for in this recipe is easily found in the Mexican isle of your grociery store (unless you live in Queensland, Australia... can't find it here!! I have to have my sister send it to me from the U.S. just so I can make this soup!!) or at a Mexican market. Make sure to get the yellow can labelled "hot tomato sauce" or "salsa de chile fresco" It is really cheap... the grociery store in Colorado (where I used to live) sold it for 69 cents. It is the key to the soup. You can easliy change the meat to beef and use beef broth instead of water... or some nice white fish or shrimp..but if using seafood the seafood should be added in the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Also, you can play with the veggies too!! I do need to warn you that it is a little bit too spicy for most children.

Steps:

- ladle in a bowl just like that or over Mexican rice and garnish with lemon or lime wedges so your guests can squeeze it inches.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of chicken: Chicken thighs and drumsticks are best for stews and soups, as they have more flavor and moisture than chicken breasts.
- Brown the chicken before simmering: Browning the chicken in a little oil before adding it to the stew or soup will help to develop its flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to stews and soups. Try using a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Add herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to stews and soups. Try using a variety of herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic, and pepper.
- Simmer for a long time: Stews and soups are best when they are simmered for a long time. This allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
Conclusion:
Stews and soups are a delicious and easy way to warm up on a cold day. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
