Chicken Sopa Kay112 Recipes

CALDO DE POLLO

Steps:

• Place chicken, water, and salt into a large stock pot and at medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once foam starts forming on the surface, skim and discard.
• After removing the foam, add the onion, garlic, and celery. Partially cover the pot. Turn heat down and gently simmer for about 30 minutes. Do not boil.
• Add the carrots, cilantro and if you are using other vegetables, add them 15 minutes later since carrots take longer to cook. Check the chicken for doneness and, once cooked, remove and set aside to cool.
• Keep simmering the broth for about 10 more minutes until carrots are completely cooked.
• When the chicken pieces have cooled, shred it or cut into small bite-sized pieces. Dice the carrots once they are cooked and set aside.
• Strain the broth using a large fine mesh strainer. Return the broth to the pot and let it settle for about 8-10 minutes, remove the fat that rises to the surfaces using a large spoon. If you are not using the broth right away you can skim off the fat after placing the broth for some time in the fridge.
• Turn the heat on to low to warm up and check if it needs more salt to your taste. When ready to serve, place some cooked rice (if using) in a medium-size bowl, a serving of shredded chicken, carrots, and stir in the warm broth. Let everyone garnish their own soup.

CREAMY CHICKEN SOPAS

Steps:

• Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so the broth simmers.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, add to the broth and poach until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the chicken to cool in the broth for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and shred it into bite-size pieces with your fingers or 2 forks. Reserve the chicken and broth separately.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the carrots, celery and onions and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ham and garlic and cook until the garlic is slightly softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the fish sauce. Continue cooking until the flavors meld, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the reserved chicken broth plus 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Add the macaroni and reduce the heat so the soup simmers. Cook, stirring frequently, until the macaroni is tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the cream of chicken soup until smooth. Add the shredded chicken and cook until heated through. Serve garnished with scallions.
