How to Make Puerto Rican Chicken Noodle Soup Sopas De Pollo Y Fideos

  1. Rub a 3-4 pound whole chicken (or about 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs) with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  2. In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, sauté 2 tablespoons sofrito, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add the chicken to the pot and brown on all sides to seal in the flavor. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  4. Pour in 8 cups of chicken stock or water. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the soup back to a boil.
  7. Add 2 large carrots (chopped), 2 medium potatoes (peeled and chopped), 1 packet sazón (complete seasoning), and 1 bay leaf.
  8. Reduce heat to medium, uncover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
  9. During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, add 1 (16-ounce) package angel hair pasta and cook until al dente.
  10. Remove bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
