Ingredients

🍗 4 chicken drumsticks
🍗 4 chicken thighs
💧 10 cups water
🍝 Goya Angel Hair Pasta, portion of a 12 oz package
🥔 1 1/2 medium potatoes, diced
🥕 2 large carrots, sliced into rounds or diced
🎃 1 cup pumpkin or calabaza, diced
🧅 1 small red onion, halved
🌿 1 stalk celery
🥬 1 bunch cilantro
🧄 2 tablespoons garlic powder
🌿 1 tablespoon Adobo seasoning
🌿 1 teaspoon Dominican oregano
🍋 1/2 lime, for serving
🥑 1/2 avocado, for serving

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

• Clean and rinse the 4 chicken drumsticks and 4 chicken thighs thoroughly.

2- Initial Boil:

• In a large cooking pot, combine the chicken pieces with 10 cups of water, the halved red onion, a celery stalk, and a bunch of cilantro.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat on a standard electric stove top.

3- Season the Broth:

• Add 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of Adobo seasoning, and optionally, 1 teaspoon of Dominican oregano.
• Allow the mixture to boil for 15 minutes to partially cook the chicken and enhance the broth's flavors.

4- Add Vegetables:

• Incorporate the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and diced pumpkin into the pot.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

5- Final Adjustments:

• Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or Adobo if necessary.

6- Cook Pasta:

• Break a portion of the Goya Angel Hair Pasta and add it to the pot.
• Stir well to prevent sticking. If the soup thickens excessively from the pasta, add more water to achieve the desired consistency.

7- Simmer Until Done:

• Continue cooking the soup for another 30 minutes or until the pasta is fully cooked and the soup has reached the right consistency.

8- Final Touches:

• Prior to serving, you can opt to remove the larger onion, celery, and cilantro pieces if preferred.

9- Serve and Enjoy:

• Ladle the soup into a white ceramic serving bowl.
• Accompany with avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for garnishing.
