Directions

Put chicken in large pot, add 8 cups water.
Boil for 10 minutes (skimming foam).
Add vegetables and bouillon and salt.
Partially cover and stir occasionally for 1 1/2 hours.
Use tongs to take chicken out of pot and put on a plate.
Remove bones and throw away (my husband says that in Mexico, they don't remove the bones, we agree to disagree on that, but you do whatever you want).
Put soup, chicken, aji (see my recipe, it's like a salsa), sour cream, avocado slices, and cilantro on the table and enjoy.
