Sopa De Pollo (Chicken Soup)

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 2-3 lbs of chicken (any parts you like but make sure you have bones, I use thighs)
• 2 quarts of water
• 2 potatoes
• 2 tablespoons sofrito
• 1 cube chicken bouillon
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce
• 1 pack Goya sazon
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (make sure it's fresh and not dry)
• 1/2 lb bow tie pasta
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Add chicken and water to a large pot. Bring to a boil and simmer covered for about an hour. After an hour remove the chicken and turn off stove. After the chicken has cooled, pull the meat off the bones and add back to the broth in the pot. Add the potatoes, sofrito (I freeze mine in ice cubes and add two cubes), chicken bouillon, tomato sauce, sazon, salt & pepper (taste it) and add more water if needed. Bring to a boil. Once it's boiling add the pasta and parsley and cook according to the package. Taste again for salt and add any if necessary.
