Caldo de Pollo

El Borrego might be known for its epic tacos, but if you're sleeping on the Caldo De Pollo, you're missing out. This soup comes in a giant bucket, filled with flavorful chicken broth, rustic potatoes and carrots and a small ear of corn -- plus an entire bone-in chicken thigh. On the side is a plate of finely chopped cilantro, onions, lime wedges, dried peppers and corn tortillas to top this delicious, homestyle dish. Our office always adds a bit of El Borrego's hot sauce to give the soup an extra kick, but it's great with or without spice.

El Borrego Carniceria y Taqueria is located at 314 S. Union St., Kokomo
