Homemade Chicken Soup

I have always heard that there is nothing better for the flu than a chicken soup. Last night, my husband was not feeling well so I decided to prepare him a Colombian style chicken soup to help overcome his sickness.

The difference between this soup and the traditional chicken soup is that I added rice and cilantro, which gives a different taste to the soup. Also to add more flavor to it I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.

Here is what you need:

• 7 cups of water
• 4 chicken thighs without skin
• 1 1/2 cubes of chicken bouillon
• 1/2 cup of white rice
• 1 1/2 of frozen carrots and peas
• 1 chopped small yellow onion
• Cilantro (optional)

Directions:

In a large pot place the water, chicken, bouillon cubes and yellow onion. Bring it to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Add the frozen peas and carrots, and the rice. Simmer it for about 30 to 40 minutes until the chicken is tender.

When you are ready to serve add a teaspoon of fresh chopped cilantro.

I hope that you enjoy this recipe. If you have a different recipe please let me know.
