Sopa de Pollo / Puerto Rican Chicken Soup Recipe | Episode 65

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while chicken thighs are more affordable.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: parsley

Parsley offers a similar flavor profile at a lower cost.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed avocado

💰Cheaper: none

Mashed avocado provides a similar creamy texture.

corn

🥗Healthier: frozen corn

💰Cheaper: canned corn

Frozen corn is fresher, while canned corn is often less expensive.

Skin and de-bone your chicken and cut it into small chunks.

Bring water to a rolling boil on your stove top and add the chicken into it, I add the bones from the thighs also to give it that extra flavor.

Let the chicken cook on a low heat for about 45 minutes.

Stir in your garlic, carrots, cilantro, sofrito, oregano, bouillon, and sazon allow to cook for another 10 - 15 minutes and then add your potatoes (you don't want them to over cook and turn into a mush) allow this to go for another 10 -15 minutes.

Stir in your noodles and allow to cook for about another 5 or so minutes until the noodles are soft.
