    Our daughter absolutely loved Pollo Fundido. I found this and made it for her; it was one of the heartier dishes I could make that she enjoyed even with the illness of her chemotherapy. She has passed away and I don't get to making it as much; but every little creamy, delicious morsel is consumed by my family when I migrate to the kitchen on a rainy day to take the time to prepare this. It may be a little time consuming for some, but well worth every single step! Way to go...this one is a definite keeper!
