Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts skin side up on a sheet pan. Rub with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until done. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, and shred the meat. Cover and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions start to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes with their puree, jalapenos, cumin, coriander, 1 tablespoon salt (depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock), 1 teaspoon pepper, and the cilantro, if using. Cut the tortillas in 1/2, then cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch strips and add to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and season to taste. Serve the soup hot topped with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, grated Cheddar cheese, and broken tortilla chips.

CALDO DE POLLO--MEXICAN CHICKEN STEW/SOUP
This soup is a recipe of my friend's father who passed away a few years ago. It is soooo delicious I was shocked when I found out how easy it is to make!! the El Pato sauce called for in this recipe is easily found in the Mexican isle of your grociery store (unless you live in Queensland, Australia... can't find it here!! I have to have my sister send it to me from the U.S. just so I can make this soup!!) or at a Mexican market. Make sure to get the yellow can labelled "hot tomato sauce" or "salsa de chile fresco" It is really cheap... the grociery store in Colorado (where I used to live) sold it for 69 cents. It is the key to the soup. You can easliy change the meat to beef and use beef broth instead of water... or some nice white fish or shrimp..but if using seafood the seafood should be added in the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Also, you can play with the veggies too!! I do need to warn you that it is a little bit too spicy for most children.

Tips:
- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The bones and skin add flavor to the soup, and the meat will be more tender than if you used boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. I recommend using a homemade chicken broth or a low-sodium store-bought broth.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for Mexican chicken and potato soup include shredded cheese, avocado, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.
Conclusion:
Mexican chicken and potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
