👨🍳 Інструкції

Prepare the broth base: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken pieces, quartered onion, smashed garlic cloves, and about half of the fresh cilantro (tied together with kitchen twine for easy removal). Add the water, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Skim and simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot partially, and let it simmer gently. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first 15-20 minutes of simmering. This ensures a clear broth. Continue to simmer for about 45 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and release its flavor.
⏱️ 45 minutes - 3
Add the hearty vegetables: Add the potatoes, carrots, plantains, and corn (if using) to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the broth. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 25-30 minutes more. The chicken should be very tender and falling off the bone.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 4
Season and finish: Remove the large pieces of aromatics (onion, garlic) and the bunch of cilantro. Taste the broth and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If desired, you can shred some of the chicken meat and return it to the pot, or serve it whole.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, ensuring each serving gets a good portion of chicken and vegetables. Garnish generously with freshly chopped cilantro.
