Sopa de Pollo Borracho is a rich and flavorful chicken, pasta and tomato soup that cooks all day on the stove or in a slow cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Spanish, Sopa de Pollo Borracho means drunken chicken soup. An appropriate name considering it is made with a full bottle of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the quarter cup of minced garlic definitely sounds like a recipe from my little brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That much garlic sounds excessive, but it is a big pot of soup and it cooks for hours mellowing out the garlic making it less overpowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing that really makes this recipe stand out is the fennel and rosemary. The play of the spices with the broth and chicken is amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sopa de Pollo Borracho easily and quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a cook all day soup, but you could make the broth in a crock pot, then finish the rest just before dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a quicker version<\/strong>: use leftover chicken or slice up some boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs, cook until no longer pink on the outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut the garlic down to 1 tablespoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip to step 3 and add two cups of chicken stock and one cup of wine, instead of the full bottle of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the alcohol cook off?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you cook the wine slowly on the stove or in the slow cooker most of the alcohol will cook off in the 2-6 hours of cooking. A trace amount may be left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use either of the quick cooking methods listed above approximately 35% of the alcohol remains, but the amount of wine is reduced). My math comes out to less than two tablespoons of pure alcohol in the entire soup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make this alcohol free<\/strong>, use 3 cups of chicken stock and a few tablespoons of white wine vinegar to get a similar taste profile. Or leave out the vinegar and it will still be a flavorful tomato chicken soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
