Chicken soup, Honduran style

Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken
1 chile, diced
1 tomato (tipo pera) diced
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic, diced
1 leaf of culantro
1 Tbsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp pepper
1 consommé pack of chicken seasoning

Water
1-2 potatoes
1 large carrot
1 other veggie (pataste, zucchini, etc.)

Start by sautéing the Chile, tomato, onion, garlic in 1 tbsp oil - in the por you will make the soup in.

Once changing color, smelling good, and releasing their water, add the spices (oregano, cilantro, and basil) and consommé and stir in.

Add chicken, constantly moving so it cooks evenly and absorbs them flavors of the veggies.
Probably 20 minutes of sautéing for the chicken, then you can add water to cover the chicken pieces and stir. Let cook 5 minutes more then add the veggies and cook till they are soft and meat is fully cooked.

Salt to taste.
