Aguadito de Pollo
Green chicken-and-rice soup with cilantro, aji amarillo and vegetables.

About Aguadito de Pollo
Morena Cuadra presents aguadito de pollo as a hearty Peruvian soup that can make a meal in itself. Her rendition combines chicken legs with rice, yellow potatoes and a range of fresh vegetables.
Cilantro leaves and fresh aji amarillo are blended into the green aromatic base. Onion and garlic deepen the chicken stock, while an optional measure of dark beer adds another layer of flavour.
Corn, carrot, red bell pepper and green peas share the broth with the chicken and rice. The soup is served in large bowls, each holding meat, potato, vegetables and the cilantro-coloured stock.
