How to Make

  • Step 1: Rinse chicken wings and soak 10 minutes in vinegar water to facilitate the removal of their skin. Remove skin from the wings.

  • Step 2: In a bowl, combine chicken wings with the juice of one of the limes. Add seasoned salt to taste. Marinate for 1/2 hour.

  • Step 3: In a pot large enough, sauté the onions over low heat for 10 minutes until lightly browned. Add the green pepper and sauté for 5 minutes over low heat.

  • Step 4: Add the potatoes, carrots, bay leaves, and chicken wings. Mix well and cook 10 minutes over low heat.

  • Step 5: Add water to cover, then add the allspice, the juice of the other two limes and seasoned salt to taste. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer one hour.

  • Step 6: Halfway through cooking, add the jalapeños.

  • Step 7: When done, ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with the chopped cilantro and a couple of thin lime rounds.
