Ingredients:

Serving

3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 carrots, cut into 3 pieces each
1 1/2 cups cilantro, leaves and stems
1/2 large onion, quartered
3 cloves garlic, halved
1 russet potato, quartered
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
3 tbsp half-and-half
1 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
1 cup minced cilantro
1 -2 green onion, sliced,white and part of green

Directions:

Combine chicken breasts, carrots, 1-1/2 cups cilantro leaves and stems, quartered onion half, halved garlic cloves and potato.
Simmer together with 6 cups of water for about one hour (more if you have the time).
Drain and reserve broth and chicken, discarding vegetables.
When cool, cube chicken.
Heat about 2 cups of reserved broth to almost boiling.
In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic together.
Stir in flour until a paste forms.
Add hot broth and whisk briskly to dissolve flour and thicken broth.
Add remaining stock, then cumin and oregano, continuing to whisk briskly until flour is dissolved and broth is thickened a little.
Stir in cooked rice and cubed cooked chicken.
Simmer all together for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Chicken will almost shred itself!
Stir in salt, pepper and half and half; heat but do not bring to boil.
Just before serving add 1 cup fresh minced cilantro and 1 or 2 sliced green onions.
The soup will thicken up overnight; thin with water or broth if you wish.
