Ingredients

• 1 bunch of cilantro

• 1 white onion

• 4 large carrots chopped or 8 baby carrots chopped

• 1-2 sliced green zucchini or yellow squash

• 8 cups of water

• 2 limes, juiced

• 1/4 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tblsp salt

• 4-6 small golden potatoes roughly chopped

• 3 chicken breast cut into chunks (raw)

• 2 celery sticks chopped

• 2 large heirloom tomatoes or 4 medium size rough chopped (they will come apart)

• Optional: 2 large dk ripe plantains (no longer very yellow- plantains washed with soap and hot water, stems from both sides should be cut off but leave skin on the rest and cut into 3-4 pieces each one)
  

Directions
In a large pot like bigger than 5qts. Throw in onion, the water (pot should be 1/3 full of water), the bunch of cilantro, carrots, chicken, celery, potatoes, plantains, tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add zucchini. Help the tomatoes to break up by pressing on them them with your cooking spoon. Careful to not splash that hot water on yourself. Once it’s boiling, add the cumin and the salt and bring it down to low heat like a 4. You want the liquid to keep consuming but you don’t want it to be a rolling boil and come all out, so keep it low. After stirring a bit more taste the broth. This is when you check to see if more salt is needed. You can also add garlic salt or garlic powder here if you feel you want more bold of a flavor. The soup is done when the tomatoes are all disintegrated and the potatoes and zucchini are fork tender. Don’t overcook the potatoes or you’ll have a starchy mess. Remove the cluster of cilantro if you want and serve the soup with some crackers! Enjoy the healthy consommé casera style!
