Aquadito (Peruvian Chicken Soup) image

This is a traditional Peruvian chicken soup recipe with a little twist. My grandparents taught my mom and my mom taught me and then I tweaked it. Incredibly filling and simple to make. This is a great one-pot recipe.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 cup carrots, chopped
4 medium potatoes, cubed
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
1 bunch cilantro, chopped, or to taste
1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
6 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer

Steps:

Add carrots, potatoes, and celery, tossing to warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice and top with cilantro. Turn off heat.
  • Sprinkle a layer of cumin on top. Pour in chicken broth and beer; turn heat on medium-low and simmer until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. Let cool slightly before serving.

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used gluten-free noodles in the soup.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

This soup was a disappointment. The broth was bland and the chicken was dry.

The soup was good, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup was bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

This soup was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. The broth was flavorful and the vegetables were cooked to perfection.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken soup, but this aquadito recipe changed my mind. The broth was incredibly flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

This aquadito soup was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the broth was rich and savory. I especially loved the addition of the corn and potatoes, which gave the soup a hearty and satisfying texture.
