Title: Manera De Hacer Un Buen Caldo
Categories: Mexican Soup
Yield: 4 Servings

1		Large stewing hen
1		Onion
3		Leeks
		Cold water
4		Celery stalks
2		Garlic cloves

(Manner of making a rich broth) This is the chicken version. A beef version is available. Select a large stewing hen; have it disjointed and cleaned. For each 1.5 pounds of chicken use 1 quart cold water. Bring water and chicken slowly to boiling point and skim. Add salt, onion, garlic, celery and leeks. Cover and simmer until chicken is tender--about two hours or more, depending on the weight of the chicken. Cool and refrigerate; skim fat from the top and strain broth. (I use the chicken in any numbers of ways.)
