For the Soup:
4
whole chicken (about 4 lbs.), cut into 8 pieces
1 tbsp.
GOYA® Minced Garlic
1
large onion, chopped
8
sprigs fresh cilantro, plus 3 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
2

2 pkgs. (32 oz.)
frozen GOYA® Colombian Stew Mix - Sancocho Colombiano
For the Hot Pepper Salsa (Ají Pique):

¼ cup
finely chopped scallions
1 tbsp.
GOYA® Lemon Juice

Directions
Step 1
Season chicken with Adobo and set aside. In large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine 10 cups water, chicken bouillon, Sazón, garlic, onion, sofrito, and 8 sprigs cilantro. Set pot over medium-high heat; bring water to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove and discard cilantro sprigs. Add chicken thighs, legs and wings to pot; gently simmer (without boiling) 15 minutes. Add chicken breasts and continue to simmer until chicken is cooked through (juices run clear and instant read thermometer registers 165°F when inserted into thickest part of chicken without touching bone), about 10 minutes more. Skim off and discard any fat or foam that rises to surface.
Step 3
Add potatoes and Colombian stew mix to pot with chicken; simmer until vegetables are completely tender, about 15 minutes. Taste soup and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in small bowl add ½ cup water, habanero, tomato, scallions, Adobo, lemon juice and corn oil. Stir salsa until well combined; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 5
To serve, ladle the soup into large bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with hot sauce on the side.
