This soup is easy to make, but to achieve a rich flavor, the chicken thighs are generously rubbed with cumin and deep-fried, skin-side down. The skin is then removed and discarded, as it has served its purpose: it released a lot of delicious, aromatic fat into the pot. By following this technique, you can vary the soup a bit. For example, instead of noodles, add ptitim and replace the cumin with steak seasoning.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 4 chicken thighs with skin and bones
  • 1 tbsp. l. ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • 1 jalapeño, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed
  • 1/4 cup sofrito sauce, preferably Goya
  • 1 teaspoon baked chicken-flavored chicken soup base, preferably Better Than Bouillon
  • 220g wide egg noodles, preferably No Yolks

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt, black pepper, and cumin. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the chicken, skin side down. Cook without moving until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. At this stage, you don't want to cook it, but rather render as much fat as possible from the skin.

  3. Add the jalapeño, onion, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Cook, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Then add the sofrito and soup base and bring to a simmer. Remove the skin from the chicken and discard.
  4. Return the chicken to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil again. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Add the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Just before serving, add the cilantro and stir. Ladle the soup into 4 bowls, placing a piece of chicken in each.
