Updated: Dec 26, 2022
Do you have left over chicken in the fridge? I had a whole chicken from the day before already seasoned and cooked, so I decided to use some to make soup. Here a quick and easy recipe.
Ingredients
2 tbs of virgin olive oil
1 shallot
3 mini bell peppers ( I used yellow, red, and orange peppers)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbs of sofrito
2 tbs of chicken bouillon powder
1/2 tbs of Sazon Goya with culantro y achiote
1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of black pepper
1 cup of tomato sauce
2 small potatoes cut into small pieces
2 medium-sized carrots, peeled then thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
2 1/2 cup shredded chicken already cooked
2 cups of cooked white or brown rice
8 cups of water
Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add shallots, peppers, garlic, and carrots. Mix everything together sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the water, sofrito, chicken bouillon, Sazon, tomato sauce, potatoes, shredded chicken, salt, and pepper.
Cover the pot with a lid then simmer for 10-15 or until vegetables are very tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the rice then stir to combine. And continue cooking for about 15-20
