  • Start by sautéing the onion and celery in oil, in a large pot until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Chuck everything else in the pot [except cilantro], bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for 45 minutes. Soup, eh? Gotta love it!
  • After 45 minutes, remove the chicken and shred it up with two forks! Throw it back in the pot, along with the fresh cilantro.
  • Do a little taste test and add salt/pepper if needed.
