Sopa de arroz con pollo mexicana

Now I will have two under my belt It looks so good! Sometimes instead of a bullion cube I add a spoon of caldo de tomate, tomato flavored chicken bullion either way for those who aren't used to making this, it shoul be kind of dry at the end, not soupy. Don't like most mexican rice because it is so bland and over cooked.

Leslie thaaaank youuuu. But the only rice I do well is chinese fried rice. Leslie, by any chance do you wash your rice before frying it? She cooked off cubed chicken or Pork Steak. I'm making this right now! Oh my goodness Garlic, cumin and chilis, were the seasonings along with salt and pepper. I use chicken bouillon and sazon, also red pepper.

When the rice was browned she added broth, chopped tomatoes and the meat back in and cooked until liquid was absorbed. Thanks you Leslie! Thanks for a fun and authentic blog. I crush my garlic, whole peppercorns and scant whole comino in a molcajete. My Mexican Mother-in-law showed me how she made Rice. Resist the urge to stir will be my new mantra.

I'm trying this out tonight. I grew up in southern New Mexico and have had Spanish or Mexican rice from many different kitchens and from cooks from all over NM and Mexico. Smells so yummy! I'm a rice freak! Every state, pueblo and family has their own special way of preparing dishes such as Mexican rice! There is no wrong or right way to make a recipe. I would love to give you my spanish rice recipe so you can give me ideas on how to use more fresh ingredients instead of the canned tomatoe sauce, etc.

I have been working on my rice for a while now and can't seem to get it.

But experiment with both to see which you prefer! Jen, I use the plain chicken boullion cubes or powder. Maybe this one will work.

Sopa de Arroz (Mexican Red Rice)

You did a great job. It all tastes great to me. It is funny that they almost all use the same ingredients, some just pure the veggies or use them chopped. One big key is not to stir the rice when it is time to cook it.

Mexican Chicken and Rice Soup (Sopa de Pollo y Arroz) Recipe

Melinda, that is what I love about Mexican cuisine. I do love the brighter color the canned tomatoe sauce can give but would love the fresh betterI also love to toss jalepenos in mine for extra kick! My men love it with flour tortillas. This recipe has been a lifesaver and is perfect! I'll have to let you know how it goes as I only have vine tomatoes!!

Your mother-in-law's Mexican rice sounds delicious! Can't wait. After it was cooked she removed the meat and added the onion and rice. Saute rice and add chopped onion.
