Start by adding water to a LARGE pot. I don’t measure the water but about a little over half the pot. Your going to want to get it to coke to a boil and then turn it down to a low simmer. Add the drumsticks, onion, garlic and salt. Once the top starts to foam, skim the top careful to make sure you don’t take out the tiny garlic pieces. Add the whole 8oz can of tomato sauce and gently stir. Let simmer for 45 minutes.
Now add a couple spoonfuls of the chicken bouillon. Stir gently. Taste for salt and if needed more chicken bouillon. This is going to be to your liking on the control of salt.
Add all the veggies, including the cilantro. I use the whole bunch of chopped cilantro but we love cilantro. Add the cilantro to your liking or opt out if you don’t like cilantro. I don’t recommend though.
Let simmer on low for about another 30 minutes.
It’s ready to serve. Drizzle on top your fav hot sauce. I use Valentina. Also dip your tortilla chips or crumble some in. Delish.
This is so comforting!
Enjoy!
