  1. This soup is so very good! I found this same recipe in the Dallas Morning News, as Abuelo's is a local restaurant. I've made it several times. To make the prep easier, instead of dealing with a whole chicken, I use chicken breasts, then add chicken stock for half of the water. Do not substitute the chicken base; it can be found in most grocery stores. I also serve with avocado slices and crispy tortilla strips.
