For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness. Serve with warm tortillas or crusty bread for dipping.
Transport yourself to the heart of Sonora with this soul-warming Caldo De Pollo. A symphony of savory chicken, aromatic spices, and comforting rice, garnished with creamy avocado and fresh cilantro. This vibrant soup is a hug in a bowl.
Gather all ingredients for a smooth cooking experience.
In a large pot, combine 6 cups chicken broth, water, chicken tenders, chicken bouillon cubes, olive oil, granulated garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a vigorous boil. (5 minutes)
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through. (25 minutes). Remove the chicken and gently shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add the chopped onion to the broth and continue to simmer. (5 minutes)
In a separate saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken broth, rice, and chili powder to a boil. (3 minutes)
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and simmer until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid. (25 minutes)
To serve, spoon a generous portion of rice into each serving bowl. Ladle the flavorful soup over the rice. Garnish generously with slices of creamy avocado and freshly chopped cilantro.
