Calories: 365kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped white onions
- 2 medium carrots chopped
- 2 medium russet potatoes chopped
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 chicken flavored bouillon cube crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 ounces fideo noodles or angel hair pasta
- Lime wedges
- Saltine crackers optional
- Tostones (Twice Fried Plantains) optional
Instructions
- In a large pot, add chicken, onions, carrots, potatoes, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, bouillon cube, and black pepper. Cover and bring to a boil then reduce heat to low for 30-40 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred with two forks. Place the shredded chicken back in the pot.
- Add the fideo noodles (or angel hair pasta) into the pot. Cook for another 10 minutes on medium heat. The noodles tend to absorb a lot of water so if you see that the soup needs more liquid, add 1 cup of water at a time.
- Serve the chicken soup with lime wedges, saltine crackers and/or tostones. Enjoy!
