Chicken Soup: Mexican Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb skinless, bone-in chicken breasts
• 6 cups of water
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 1 small tomato, chopped
• 2 bay leaves
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions:

1. Place the chicken, water, onion, and garlic in a large pot.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Add the carrots, celery, tomato, bay leaves, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred into small pieces. Then, return the chicken to the pot and add the cilantro. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Verdict:

This chicken soup is hearty and full of flavor. The combination of vegetables, herbs, and spices make it a comforting dish that’s perfect for cold weather or when you’re feeling under the weather. The lime wedges add a delicious burst of citrus that balances out the savory flavors of the soup.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with warm tortillas or cornbread for an even heartier meal. Top with avocado, sour cream, or grated cheese if desired. This soup also freezes well, so make a big batch and save some for later.
