Guatemalan Chicken Soup

Guatemalan Chicken Soup

My son’s nanny, Lorena asked me one day if she can pick up some ingredients to cook some food for her and Tal.  She had cooked some delicious dinners for us in the past so I suggested she give me a list and make enough for all of us. Her list included chicken broth. I had two containers of broth in my freezer that I thought  was lacking a bit of flavor so I suggested she use that. She used that as the base and added some vegetables and one of my favorite herbs, cilantro. I am absolutely amazed at how tasty this soup is. I asked Lorena if she added any more spices to the soup and she said just a bit of salt. Tal loved the soup as well. I actually think that he  ate most of it. I will definitely be making this again.

I really recommend using homemade broth if you can.
