CALDO DE POLLO--MEXICAN CHICKEN STEW/SOUP



Caldo De Pollo--mexican Chicken Stew/soup image

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.

MEXICAN CHICKEN STEW



Mexican Chicken Stew image

From Cook.com this is a good stew for winter. Go lightly on the cinnamon and cloves they tend to overpower the flavor. I like to slow cook my stews so I cooked a few hours.

MEXICAN CHICKEN STEW

This is a fabulous healthy stew that you can make as spicy as you like. Ease back on the amount of jalapeno if you like it less spicy. It is a great meal on a cold night! It is great served with sour cream or a little shredded cheese on top (or both!)

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
4 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 jalapenos, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes with juice
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
3 -4 cups chicken stock
1 lime
1 cup cooked white rice
salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno and cook until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add spices and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Add tomatoes, chicken, Worcestershire, and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook 20 minutes.
  • Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the pot.
  • Add white rice and cook 5 minutes longer to warm rice through. Season to taste with salt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For a flavorful stew, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The bones and skin will add flavor to the broth.
  • Brown the chicken before stewing: Browning the chicken adds flavor and color to the stew. To brown the chicken, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the stew, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of the two. If you're using canned broth, be sure to choose a low-sodium variety.
  • Add vegetables and spices: Vegetables and spices add flavor and nutrition to the stew. Common vegetables used in Mexican chicken stew include onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, and corn. Common spices used in Mexican chicken stew include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the stew allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender. The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Mexican chicken stew is often served with rice, beans, tortillas, or avocado. You can also add sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce to taste.

Conclusion:

Mexican chicken stew is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be easily made at home. With a few simple ingredients and some time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. Whether you serve it with rice, beans, tortillas, or your favorite toppings, Mexican chicken stew is sure to be a hit.
