Caldo De Pollo or Chicken Soup Mexican Style

A great recipe for comforting soup, Caldo de Pollo or Mexican-style chicken soup, can bring you and your family a lot of joy. Soup is a comfort food due to its basic composition of rice and coriander. And chicken thighs. We love soup. I don’t know about the rest of your family, but there isn’t a week in our house without a pot of soup for lunch or dinner. Plus, since the winters are so cold where we live in Minnesota, all we want to eat is homemade soup.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Place the water, chicken, salt, and garlic in a large saucepan. The ingredients should boil for 15 minutes over medium heat. Mix away the foam that builds up on top of the water as the soup boils.

Step 2

In a separate skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, add the rice, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Be cautious not to burn it.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2 more minutes, until the onion is translucent.

Step 4

Add the tomatoes, then simmer for an additional three minutes.

Step 5

Fill the chicken bowl with this mixture.

Step 6

Add potatoes, carrots, and celery to the soup and let it simmer. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.

Step 7

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the tomato sauce and cilantro. Recheck the salt.

Step 8

Serve the soup in bowls with a piece of chicken per plate, along with a warm corn tortilla.

Step 9

Avocado slices are an optional addition to your soup.
