Ingredients

  • 4 cups low-fat chicken broth
  • 2 garlic cloves, diced
  • 12 medium onion, diced
  • 1 celery rib, diced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 large potatoes, diced
  • 2 limes, juice of
  • white wine, 1 splash
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • salt (to taste)
  • oil (enough to fry garlic)

Method

  • In a stock pot or large sauce pan, put in enough oil to fry up your garlic.
  • Turn heat on med-high and once oil is warmed up, toss in garlic bits.
  • Cook until they brown.
  • Don't let them burn.
  • Add onion and cook until onion is transparent, stirring regularly so garlic doesn't burn.
  • Add broth and deglaze any stuck on garlic bits.
  • While bringing to a boil, add carrots, celery, chicken and potato.
  • Simmer until potato is soft.
  • Add a small handful of cilantro, less than half of your total.
  • Add the juice of two limes and a splash of white wine (don't be shy).
  • Allow to simmer together for about 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the rest of the cilantro.
  • Let sit for 5-10 minutes so the cilantro can release all of its flavor.
