• Heat olive oil and butter in a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until chicken is browned on all sides and onion is slightly translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add carrots, potatoes, and celery, tossing to warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice and top with cilantro. Turn off heat.

PERUVIAN CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 14 cups water, chicken pieces, backbone, wings, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil. Skim foam, reduce heat, and gently simmer for 25 minutes. Remove chicken (except wings); continue simmering while you discard skin and remove meat from bones. Cover meat and refrigerate; return bones to pot and simmer 3 1/2 hours more.
• Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve and discard solids, including bones and wings. Skim fat and transfer broth to a clean pot. Add onions, carrots, celery, rice, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are very tender, 25 minutes.
• Cut or tear chicken into 3 cups of bite-size pieces. (You'll end up with an extra cup of meat; save it for a salad or a sandwich.) Blend together cilantro, chile, and garlic. Add chicken pieces, cilantro mixture, and corn to broth and heat through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve.
