ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut in pieces
2 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil (1 reserved)
8 cups chicken stock
¹⁄₂ teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons sofrito sauce
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 large onion, diced
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 large potato, cube
sazon goya con culantro y achiote, 1 package

directions

Rub the chicken with salt, pepper and oregano and one tablespoon olive oil and set aside for 30 minutes.
In a large heavy pot sauté the sofrito, onions and celery with remaining olive oil, for 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Brown the chicken pieces to seal in their flavor. Add the chicken stock or water to the chicken and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Raise the heat and bring to a boil once more; add carrots, potatoes, sazon and bay leaf. Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, until carrot and potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. During the last 5 – 10 , minutes add the angel hair and cook until pasta is done.

I was fighting off a bad cold all week and craving chicken noodle soup like my puerto rican abuelita and mami made for me when I was a little girl. Finally mustered up the energy to cook it for myself and made this recipe. Came out delicious!! Very satisfying. The only change I made was adding some chopped up cilantro along with the carrots and potatoes. My fiancé loved it as well. If you have leftovers, the noodles tend to soak up the broth and it's more like a "lo mein" kind of dish than a soup, but just as delicious!!!

It's supposed to be chicken soup with fiedos (thin noodles), but I don't see them on the ingredients list?????

One of the best chicken soups I have made! It was easy and quick. Family loved it. Made according to directions. Luckily, I found the Puerto Rican sazon and sofrito at the third grocery! Will make again. (Just returned from San Juan and miss the cuisine!)

I was born in Glendale, California but I currently reside in Athens, AL. The military brought me to Alabama in 1989 and I just never left! Although quite different from California, I have come to love the more laid back lifestyle the South has to offer. My husband, who is Puerto Rican, and I were married in May 2006. He is retired from the Army (24 years) and now works for TASC Inc. while I am a stay at home mom. this is a new lifestyle for me as I worked for 23 years before having a baby on Dec 20, 2008. She was born two months premature and while she was in the hospital I decided I wanted to be with her and so I stopped working. My husband and I both love cooking (probably him moreso than I) in our spare time. We purchased a home in 2006, and I think the main reason we bought the home is because of the beautiful kitchen...which is where we spend most of our time. We like to try new recipes and Recipezaar has made this easy for us. When we first met he moved to Alaska, and to bridge the distance we would cook (him in Alaska and me in Alabama) the exact same recipe from zaar while on the phone or web cam together. When we had more time we tried at least one new recipe a week. We are slowly but surely getting back to that tradition. Cooking together has become challenging with a 13 month old. One of us plays with her while the other cooking. I also enjoy collecting cookbooks and now I am addicted to Food Network. I love Giada and Ina the most...My husband thinks Ina is too boring, but her dishes always sound so amazing. <IMG src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg mce_src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg> <IMG border=0 alt=Photobucket src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg mce_src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg>
