Santiago Cazuela de Pollo 🍲

A clear chicken broth built on chillka coriander, whole winter vegetables and a chunk of pumpkin that melts into the soup — Chile's everyday Sunday pot.

Method

  1. 1

    Cover the chicken with cold water, bring up slowly and skim; this gentle start keeps the broth clear.

  2. 2

    In a pan, sweat diced onion and garlic in oil with paprika and a spoonful of chillka until deeply fragrant.

  3. 3

    Tip the sofrito into the broth, add potatoes and carrot, and simmer for twenty minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the pumpkin wedges and green beans; cook until every vegetable is fork-tender and the pumpkin edges blur into the soup.

  5. 5

    Season well, shower with chopped cilantro and serve each bowl with a chicken piece and a slice of pumpkin lifted out whole.
