Cook chicken in water and salt and bring to a boil. When the chicken is half cooked, add teh potatoes, green beans, and carrots to make a soup. In a skillet, toast the tomatoes and peel them. Then grind the chilies (take out the seeds and threads). Toast the tomatoes and peel them. Then grind the chilies, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, onions, and the rice that we soaked. Be sure the rice is soft. Add salt and pepper to make the sauce. When the chicken and veggies are cooked, add the sauce to the chicken soup and finish cooking for 10 minutes. Serve with rice.
Recipe Note: This soup is from my native country, Guatemala. The peppers can be found in specialty stores or Mexican markets.
