    Cuisine Colombian
    Servings 4 servings

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 ½ pounds of chicken parts and gizzards of your choice 2 feet, neck, liver, heart, wings, legs
    • 12 cups of water
    • 2 large carrots peeled and cut into pieces
    • 1 medium onion peeled and cut into pieces
    • 1 garlic clove crushed
    • Salt and pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • ¼ cup cilantro
    • 1 celery stick
    • Thyme
    • Lime to serve

    Instructions
     

    • Place the chicken parts in a large container with ice water and soak them for about 1 hour. This will help to clean up the blood and bad stuff from the chicken parts.
    • Remove the chicken parts from the ice water and discard the water. Place the chicken in a large pot and add the water. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam from the top.
    • Reduce the heat to low and add all the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for about 4 hours.
    • Remove from the heat and remove the chicken parts that you want to eat and set them aside. Strain the broth through a fine sieve & return to the broth the chicken parts that you would like to eat. Serve the soup hot in small cups with lime juice.
    • Note: This can be use as chicken broth to make other dishes and it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze up to 6 months, so make a big batch

    Consome de PolloPin

    Consome de Pollo is a traditional Colombian soup made by cooking chicken parts like the liver, wings, heart, and legs, along with vegetables. Once strained, it is served in a small cup, as a clear soup, with pieces of liver and heart.

    You can find this soup in a lot of Colombian restaurants all over the world and it is a must at Colombian parties. It is often served to people at the end of a party before they go home, hot, with a squeeze lime. I guess it helps to prevent hangovers 🙂

      Hello Erica, long time no see! I've been very busy but I now want to catch up with all my foodie friends. This soup is new to me. In Mexico we eat consome with a lot of vegetables and sometimes rice. The liver and heart of the chicken sound delicious for a winter night, hehe.

      Ummm, the broth sounds great- I ate gizzards as a young girl, and they do make a good broth and dressing at Thanksgiving!

      This reminds me so much of my abuelita. When I was in elementary school in Miami, my abuelita lived with us. I remember coming home from school and she'd have mugs of consome waiting for us. So good. 🙂

      I woke up terribly sick today. This consome is a miracle cure for flu and colds. Plus it's delicious and easy on the stomach. I love it!
