Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken leg quarters
- 1 gallon water
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 cube chicken bouillon
- 3 large corn ears, cut in halves
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1 cabbage, cut into large chunks
- 1 large onion, cut into large chunks
- ½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Place chicken legs into a large stock pot and pour water over chicken. Add garlic, salt, and garlic powder. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until chicken meat falls off the bones, which takes roughly one to two hours. Stir in chicken bouillon cube and let it dissolve. Mix corn, carrots, potatoes, chayote, and white onion in the broth, turn heat to medium-low, and cook soup at a low boil until carrots and potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir chopped cilantro into soup, simmer for 5 minutes, serve, and enjoy a delicious meal on a cold and chilly day.
