CALDO DE POLLO (MEXICAN CHICKEN SOUP)



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.

Time 45m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 broiler-fryer chicken (whole, cut up, skin removed, rinsed and dried)
1 chayote (peeled, cut in 4 quarters then each piece cut in half)
2 large white potatoes (peeled, cut in 4 quarters then each piece cut in half)
1 large yucca root (peeled, sliced into 1.5 in wide round pieces, then that piece cut in half)
1 plantain (DO NOT peel, slice into 6 round even slices)
1/2 head green cabbage, quarted
1 -2 carrot (peeled, cut into small diagnol slices)
2 whole yellow corn on the cob (each cut into 4 large round pieces)
1 celery, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup cilantro leaf
2 tablespoons Knorr chicken bouillon (chicken flavor)
2 tablespoons Knorr chicken bouillon (with tomato flavor)
cumin
pepper
salt
1/2 tablespoon cooking oil
6 -8 cups water

Steps:

  • On medium high heat in a Very large pot, add oil and heat. Once oil is heated, add bell pepper, onion and celery. Saute for about 1 1/2 minutes. Add chicken pieces and brown for about 6-8 minutes (raising the heat to high heat if neccesary to brown chicken if medium heat is causing to much moisture to build up and not enough browning). Add 6 cups of water to the pot.
  • Bring the soup to a quick simmer and then add the rest of the veggies to pot EXCEPT for the cabbage (the yucca should go at the very top of the pot as it has a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pot). If there is not enough water to cover the veggies, this is the time to add a bit more water. Once veggies are in the pot, season the soup with both of the chicken bullions, cumin and black pepper to flavor. Add some salt if neccesary.
  • Carefully add the quartered cabbage to the pot, being careful to try and keep the leaves together. Place a lid on the pot and cook on medium high for about 20-25 minutes or atleast UNTIL the potatoes/chayote squash are tender. Add the cilantro at the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve with white rice. The plaintain is peeled when the person eats it. The peel helps keep the plantain from getting all mushy during the cooking and it gives the soup a different apeal.

SOPA DE POLLO (CHICKEN SOUP) RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Sopa De Pollo (Chicken Soup) Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by carvalhohm

Number Of Ingredients 10

2-3 lbs of chicken (any parts you like but make sure you have bones, I use thighs)
2 quarts of water
2 potatoes
2 tablespoons sofrito
1 cube chicken bouillon
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 pack Goya sazon
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (make sure it's fresh and not dry)
1/2 lb bow tie pasta
Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Add chicken and water to a large pot. Bring to a boil and simmer covered for about an hour. After an hour remove the chicken and turn off stove. After the chicken has cooled, pull the meat off the bones and add back to the broth in the pot. Add the potatoes, sofrito (I freeze mine in ice cubes and add two cubes), chicken bouillon, tomato sauce, sazon, salt & pepper (taste it) and add more water if needed. Bring to a boil. Once it's boiling add the pasta and parsley and cook according to the package. Taste again for salt and add any if necessary.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken for a richer flavor.
  • Roast the chicken bones before adding them to the soup for a deeper flavor.
  • Add vegetables that are in season for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Sopa de pollo, or chicken soup, is a classic comfort food that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, but it can be packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious sopa de pollo that will warm your soul.
