Servings: persons

1 whole chicken
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
10 roma (plum) tomatoes, quartered
7 carrots, chopped
4 potatoes, chopped
3 zucchinis, chopped
3 yellow squash, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 chayote squash, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste (optional)
1 tablespoon tomato bouillon with chicken flavoring (such as Knorr(R))

1
Put chicken, onion, and garlic in a large stockpot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain and reserve liquid. Set chicken aside to cool. Remove and discard bones from chicken. Chop the chicken meat.
2
Put tomatoes in a large stockpot with enough water to just cover; add carrots, potatoes, zucchinis, yellow squash, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and chayote squash. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
3
Pour reserved chicken stock into the pot. Stir chopped chicken, cilantro, and tomato bouillon into the liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook another 15 to 20 minutes.
