Chicken Soup is a dish of International Cuisine, because it is present in almost all cultures. It is one of those recipes that has various versions and each person puts their own distinctive touch on it. We eat Chicken Soup on any occasion, but in Cuba it is prepared especially when we have a cold, are recovering from a digestive problem, or for a light meal at night. The Chicken Soup recipe that we present today is a useful dish that is made with chicken carcasses and wings. It is accompanied by meats and vegetables and some noodles that give the final touch to this delicious dish. This preparation allows you to get the most out of the chicken, since you can obtain, in addition to the soup, a delicious consommé and cooked vegetables for a hot salad. Enjoy it.

When the pot has lost pressure, uncover it, remove 500 ml of broth and reserve it for future preparations. Also take out, if you wish, some of the root vegetables and use them for a hot salad. Remove the chicken carcass and wings and let them cool on a plate.

Shred the chicken. Discard bones and skin. Reserve the dough to incorporate into the soup.
