Directions Mexican Chicken Soup with Rice (Caldo de Pollo con Arroz)
Directions
-
Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Place tomatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until soft but not falling apart, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and let cool briefly. Peel and place in a blender, add onion, chipotle peppers, garlic, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Strain mixture, discarding solids, for the sauce.
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and celery, saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in blended tomato sauce. Add chicken broth and bouillon. Cook and stir until carrot and celery are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Add peas and chicken breast, cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve soup over a spoonful of rice, top with avocado slices and Monterey Jack cheese.
