Our office went to lunch at a local Mexican Restaurant last Monday, my first time eating out since surgery. I chose the only Soup on the menu, Caldo de Pollo, a tasty broth-based soup with shredded chicken, pico de gallo (tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, cilantro) and rice. (I found out later the rice was added right before serving and could be left out).
After chatting with a friend, we came up with this version. I don't know the exact nutrition facts, but it is very tasty...not to mention fast and easy!
CALDO DE POLLO
Prepared Pico de Gallo (from the supermarket)
Shredded Chicken Breast (I actually used canned chicken)
Goya Sazon seasoning (check the latin foods section of your supermarket)
Chicken broth
Heat in a sauce pan and garnish with fresh cilantro.
This is the Sazon seasoning - It gives an authentic flavor to brothy soups:
