Quarantine Soup
From 'Mexico The Cookbook' by Margarita Carrillo Arronte
The signature dish of 2020, luckily this Quaratine is better than that one!Ingredients
- 1.5 kg chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 8 saffron threads
- ¼ tsp cumin seeds, dry roasted
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 4 sprigs parsley, finely chopped, to garnish
Recipe
- Put the chicken into a large saucepan, add water to cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool. Cut the breast meat into bite size pieces and set aside.
- Put the chicken meat, saffron, and cumin into a blender and process briefly. Add a little chicken stock, and process again, to make a smooth mixture.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion, and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the spiced chicken mixture, add the remaining chicken stock and the pieces of chicken, and season with slat and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
