2 quarts of Chicken Broth (click here for recipe)
Put chicken broth in pot; bring to boil. Add chicken. Return to boil; lower heat. Gently simmer uncovered for 1 hour.
Add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for one-half hour more; stir occasionally.
Skim fat from top. Pour into bowls; into each add a slice of carrot and a sprig of cilantro.
If storing, let soup cool before refrigerating. When cold, remove the fat that rises to the surface. Use soup within 2 to 3 days, or store in freezer.
