My Mom...All soup styles are welcome in my home. My Mom's chicken soup was quite simple, but as she use to say, the most important item had to be the chicken. In Havana B.C.(before Castro) there were live poultry shops throughout the city. She would send me with a note so that the chicken monger would choose a good hen for soup (on other ocassion she would send for a capon, which would be excellent for roasting or braising with onions, garlic and wine). At any rate, she never got used to the "already dead and tasteless chickens" (no saben a nada) found in U.S. supermarkets(some shops now have specialty chickens, e.g. Wholefoods). The freshly slaughtered chicken would come with all its parts and organs which were used for the soup (the liver and heart thrown in towards the end of the simmering process).<br />The chicken would be boiled with onions, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper, then drained. The chicken would be set aside and the broth would be finished with saffron, potatoes and sometimes carrots. And the fideos, of course (sometimes rice).<br />Chicken meat and some organs would be added towards the end, and often she would thrown in some tostones or freshly made plantain chips. The broth would be fairly clear and not too cluttered by fideos, potatoes or other components. After the soup the real meal would begin!!!Mameynoreply@blogger.com
