SOPA DE POLLO (CENTRAL/SOUTH AMERICAN CHICKEN SOUP)



Sopa De Pollo (Central/South American Chicken Soup) image

I have been eating this soup since I was a little kid. It is a staple recipe in hispanic third world countries. I especially enjoy it during cold winter months. It is usually served with rice and warn corn tortillas.

Provided by Chef Sarita in Aust

Categories     Stocks

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 ARROZ CON POLLO RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Sopa de Arroz con Pollo Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 onion
1/2 red bell pepper
1/4 cup cilantro
2 crushed garlic cloves
enough water to puree all the ingredients
1-1/2 lbs of chicken on the bone (I prefer thighs) seasoned with 2 packets Sazón Goya.
1/2 cup rice

Steps:

  • Puree onion, red bell pepper, cilantro and garlic cloves in blender. Put the seasoned chicken and the puree in a stockpot over medium-high heat and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors from the pureed veggies to infuse the chicken before adding all the water for the soup. After about 10 minutes, add enough water to totally submerge the chicken, about 6 cups, add some chopped potatoes and carrots, season with salt & pepper, and 1 bay leaf. Bring it all to a boil, then lower temperature to allow it to simmer and cook for about 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken from the broth and add 1/2 cup of rice to it, allow it cook while the chicken cools enough to remove the bones. Make sure to stir the broth every few minutes, making sure to remove any rice that may stick to the bottom. In the meantime, chop the chicken, if you'd like and return it to the broth. Cook just long enough for the rice to soften. Serve in bowls and enjoy!

This is my first attempt at making caldo de pollo. I think it turned out great. You might need to add salt to taste as my recipe doesn't have very much. I like to serve this with warm corn tortillas and a side of Spanish rice and refried beans. Please enjoy and let me know what you think.
