Helin’s Chicken Soup Honduran Style

January 19, 2010 | Filed Under Honduran recipes, Soups 

 

Family friend, Helin, made some chicken soup for us.  Originally from Honduras, she made her chicken soup the way she would make it in her country.  We loved her soup, which contained chicken (of course) squash, yams (yucca), green bananas, corn, cabbage, carrots, green bell pepper, onions, cilantro, and culantro. 

 

The seasonings included a Maggi cube, coriander and annatto Goya Sazón, and Adobe Seasoning.   The soup was left to simmer for about 45 minutes.

 

Helin said that sometimes she adds angel hair pasta in the soup but this time, she left it out.  The soup is served with a side dish of rice for those who want even more substance with their soup.  We skipped the rice, too.  Everyone enjoyed the soup and it hit the spot.  Just right for a cold day January day.

By the way, Helin said you can substitute the chicken with beef.  Thanks, Helin!  This was really good and tasty.

Paz

    This is really unusual – green bananas, squash and yams in chicken soup. I’m off to check the cUlantro!
