~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a dish Nana got from her sister's
mother-in-law, Mother Medrano (I think around the
year 1940). Mother Medrano fixed this every
Sunday!
It makes such a wonderfully delicious complete
meal, PACKED with vitamins, too, but don't tell anyone that!
Caldo is actually a chicken soup, but in order to have the fresh and special taste of this dish, you REALLY MUST serve it with the accompaniments shown! YUM!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Put everything except the tomatoes in a large pot of water to cover (about 12-15 cups of water). Bring to a boil; cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 45 min.
Remove oregano sprigs and discard (it's okay if the leaves that have cooked off stay in); remove chicken to cool where it can be handled.
While the stock is still boiling, drop in the whole tomatoes until skin cracks; remove and slip skins off. Quarter peeled tomatoes and add back to stock. Turn off heat.
Peel chicken from bones, and put meat back into stock.
