Caldo de Gallina
A hearty and nourishing chicken soup, traditionally made with a mature hen (gallina vieja) for a richer broth. It's often considered 'soul food' and is especially recommended for new mothers due to its easily digestible nature and purported ability to aid milk production. The soup is typically served with vegetables, rice, and corn tortillas.
