Asopao de Pollo
A Dominican chicken-and-rice pottage with tomato, herbs and optional vegetables.
About Asopao de Pollo
Clara Gonzalez traces this Dominican asopao to her mother’s repertoire. The bone-in chicken option sits in a thick rice pottage with tomato sauce, bell pepper and herbs.
Brown sugar contributes to the browned chicken base, alongside garlic, oregano and black pepper. Optional carrot, peas and auyama add vegetable sweetness; lime juice and agrio de naranja offer acidic accents.
The rice gives the broth its substantial, spoonable consistency. Parsley finishes the pot, which the source serves hot, with avocado and tostones among the suggested accompaniments.
