"Chicken rice soup is a traditional dish made in Ecuadorian homes and prepared in all traditional Ecuadorian restaurants. Every household has their own way of making Aguado de Pollo. In the Sierra or Highlands they add tomatoes but in La Costa they prepare it simply with red onions, bell peppers, garlic, parsley, and cilantro."
