How to make Colombian Chicken Broth

Why cooks start here

Colombian Chicken Broth is cooked the way Colombian home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a colombian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Colombian Chicken Broth is a staple at home tables across Colombia, where it is crafted with care and a touch of intuition. This version reflects the authentic approach taken by Colombian family cooks, who rely on instinct rather than strict measurements. Salt is judged by hand, and fat is embraced generously, creating a broth that is both satisfying and deeply comforting. The broth is rich and hearty, with tender chicken pieces and a fragrant blend of onion and carrot. A hint of bay leaf adds an earthy note, while black pepper and sea salt bring the flavors into balance. The result is a warming dish, perfect for sharing around a familial table, inviting the simple joy of homemade comfort.
