Sopa De Pollo Con Arroz Chicken And Rice Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Place tomatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until soft but not falling apart, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and let cool briefly. Peel and place in a blender; add onion, chipotle peppers, garlic, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Strain mixture, discarding solids, for the sauce.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and celery; saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in blended tomato sauce. Add chicken broth and bouillon. Cook and stir until carrot and celery are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Add peas and chicken breast; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve soup over a spoonful of rice; top with avocado slices and Monterey Jack cheese.

Steps:

• Bring stock to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add chicken legs; return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, skimming away foam that forms on the surface. Add carrots, onion, celery, cilantro, garlic, and mint.
• Cover pot and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. Remove chicken from the pot; discard skin and bones. Shred meat using 2 forks.
• Return chicken meat to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Add rice. Let chicken and rice warm up, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour soup into serving bowls. Top with avocado and serrano peppers and squeeze in lime juice.

Steps:

• Extract giblets from chicken and remove the liver.
• Place chicken in a pot of water just large enough to hold it.
• Cover with 1-2 quarts of water and add the giblets.
• Add salt and bring to a boil, skimming off any foam.
• Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer for 20 or more minutes.
• Chicken should fall apart after cooking.

• Cut carrots into coins, dice potato into 1/2" cubes and add with cabbage cut into 1" chunks.
• Chop onion coarsely and add along with pressed or finely minced garlic.
• Remove strings by breaking the top of the stalk backwards and pulling down to strip them out, slice celery into medium pieces and add.

• Chop some of the celery heart's leaves and add with diced chicken white meat in 1/2" chunks.
• Finish washing rice and add to soup.
• During last half hour of cooking add all other spices.
• Adjust salt to taste (this recipe can take a lot of salt).
• Avoid adding too much cumin, it will spoil the flavor.
• DO NOT let the soup boil, it will turn to mush.
• DO NOT use the chicken liver in the soup.
• When the rice begins to "bloom" turn off the heat.
• Elbow macaroni, stars or alphabet pasta may be used.
• If using pasta, omit or reduce the amount of rice.
• If the stock is made right it will gel when chilled.
• Note: This recipe took years to figure out.
• DO NOT use chicken bullion cubes or paste when making this.
• They will cloud the soup and destroy its delicate bouquet.

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.
