Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves or 6-8 Drumsticks / Thighs

1/2 cup olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1 carrott sliced (optional)

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon aji paste (or to taste)

1 whole bunch of finely chopped cilantro

1 cup green peas

10 cups chicken broth

1 tsp. cumin

4 potatoes, cut in quarters

1 cup uncooked white rice

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat.

Stir in the onion, garlic, and aji; cook until the onion has softened, about 1 minute.

Add the chicken, and continue to cook for 5 minutes.

Stir in the cilantro and cook for 1 minute.

At this point you may wish to shred the chicken or cut it into bite size pieces. (Thighs and drumsticks make for a nice presentation whole)

Pour in the chicken broth, potatoes, (carrot if you used it) and rice.

Add cumin.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

I love this soup. I had one almost like it in Ecuador, but made with iguana. Not my idea, a big surprise. Tasty, though.
