Directions

  1. Place chicken legs in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, green bell pepper, hot chile pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic, cover pot and cook until soft, about 30 minutes.

  2. Pour chicken stock into the saucepan and bring to a boil, simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, at least 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Add name root, corn, celery, carrots, recaito, sofrito, and cilantro. Cook soup until vegetables soft, at least 30 minutes more.

  3. Stir orzo and oregano into the soup, cook until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
