Directions
Caldo De Pollo–mexican Chicken Stew/soup, This soup is a recipe of my friend’s father who passed away a few years ago It is soooo delicious I was shocked when I found out how easy it is to make!! the El Pato sauce called for in this recipe is easily found in the Mexican isle of your grociery store (unless you live in Queensland, Australia can’t find it here!! I have to have my sister send it to me from the U S just so I can make this soup!!) or at a Mexican market Make sure to get the yellow can labelled hot tomato sauce or salsa de chile fresco It is really cheap the grociery store in Colorado (where used to live) sold it for 69 cents It is the key to the soup You can easliy change the meat to beef and use beef broth instead of water or some nice white fish or shrimp but if using seafood the seafood should be added in the last 5 minutes of cooking time Also, you can play with the veggies too!! I do need to warn you that it is a little bit too spicy for most children , Delicious and easy used a different canned salsa since I couldn’t find the specific one Loved stirring in some avocado chunks to serve!
