This Caldo de Pollo is not only flavorful but also packed with nutrition. This Mexican-style chicken soup features a delightful mix of vegetables and rice. There's no single recipe, as some variations include more vegetables than others. I typically use a combination of chicken legs, thighs, and wings, along with hearty vegetables such as carrots, corn, potatoes, and Mexican squash. I always include half of a sweet potato, as it brings a subtle sweetness that balances the flavors and adds a lovely color. Whether you choose to add rice or not, you will end up with a comforting bowl of deliciousness at its finest. ❤️
