!Hola Familia y Amigos. Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo 2011!
Hello Family and Friends. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year2011!
Our first recipe is a Christmas Recipe. This seemed a good idea because as we write we are approaching the festive season. The weather outside is cold and wet and this soup is a perfect recipe for cold wintery days. It is also one of the most loved dishes for Christmas in my village.
The base of this delicious soup that feeds 4 people is: a good chicken broth and meat balls
Ingredients:
The Broth
4 ltr water
1 / 2 chicken with giblets

Last word: Traditionally this dish is done with hen, but chicken or turkey will suffice. If you don´t have saffron you can use yellow food colorant. We understand the some people do not like the giblets, but don´t worry!, this dish is delicious with or without them
