Sopas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, combine the chicken thighs and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and shredded cabbage to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken thighs from the pot, let them cool slightly, then shred the meat and discard the skin and bones. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
