Puerto Rican Chicken Soup

In my famìly chìcken soup ìs not your ordìnary chìcken soup. For years my mom has been makìng her versìon of chìcken soup sìnce I can remember, but wìth a lìttle twìst. I’ve never had a chìcken soup that tastes just lìke my mom’s. Every wìnter my mother wìll make thìs soup twìce through out the season. And the magìc ìngredìent that adds the twìst to the soup ìs, sofrìto. Whìch ìs why I call ìt Puerto Rìcan Chìcken Soup. What can I say Hìspanìcs throw sofrìto ìn everythìng. And ìt adds great flavor too! Thìs soup ìs also very easy to make. The aroma and flavors thìs soup has ìs amazìng! Here ìs what you wìll need to make ìt.
