Cornish Hen Soup (Sopas de Gallina)

Living with my mom in the Bronx when I was sick, she made me this soup. The good think about the hen soup is that is full of protein and good for you. I make them how she originally made them for me, Puerto Rican Style. You can always make them how you like and even enjoy the broth alone.

Here is my recipe!

Ingredients

1 small frozen Cornish hen (remove the skin) cut into pieces

3 corn on the cob (frozen) cut in half

2 potatoes cut into cubes

2 carrots cut in small pieces

1 tbs of sofrito (homemade) recipe on this page

1 can of tomato sauce

1 powdered chicken flavored bullion

1 powdered Sazon with Achiote

1 tsp of oregano

Angel hair pasta or Goya’s fideo (about 1 cup)

Salt and pepper to taste or adobo for flavor

Instructions

In a large pot boil 4 cups of water

Add sofrito, powdered chicken flavor, Sazon, tomato sauce and chicken.

Simmer on medium-low for about 45 minutes to an hour, just so that all the flavors combine.
