Ingredients
- 2 ½ quarts chicken stock
- 2 pounds skin-on, bone-in whole chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs)
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 1 avocado, peeled and chopped
- 2 serrano peppers, minced
- 2 limes, quartered
Instructions
- Bring stock to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add chicken legs; return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, skimming away foam that forms on the surface. Add carrots, onion, celery, cilantro, garlic, and mint.
- Cover pot and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. Remove chicken from the pot; discard skin and bones. Shred meat using 2 forks.
- Return chicken meat to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Add rice. Let chicken and rice warm up, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour soup into serving bowls. Top with avocado and serrano peppers and squeeze in lime juice.

Reviews
It was extremely good! I will add cumin next time but that’s about my only change. Loved it,!
My husband and I loved this soup!
Made this for my family and they loved it. I wanted more vegetables in it so I added chayote squash and yellow summer squash. For the toppings in addition to the recipe I used fresh Cilantro, dried oregano, fresh onions and Valentina hot sauce. Super good and very healthy soup.
Delicious!
Very tasty and nice change from regular turkey soup after Christmas. I used a lot of chili pepper flakes and enjoyed the cilantro and lime flavours.
