Thanks for sharing your Recipe with us. As a 42yr old Puerto Rican man I still miss my Grandma's cooking. I'm not a professional cook but I do try to make dishes instead of spending money on outside food. Plus u can make as much as u want to eat 😂. Many Blessings to u. 👋😇

[@carlablanco6126]

I followed your recipe and my goodness.. I almost cried. I added some plantain balls as my grandmother does, it was a special touch I added, and it was so delicious. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you taking your time to teach people like me ❤🇵🇷

[@jafo4u508]

I love platain balls also!

[@petercaulfield5065]

This should definitely be classified as Puerto Rican food for the soul. It's so comforting and delicious, not to mention it's pretty easy to get done on a week night and is a real crowd-pleaser. You can't go wrong with Ida's recipes. Sending love and thanks from NYC to Orlando! xoxo

[@yvonnevivo4761]

Soaking the rice technique is very good idea.

[@4evergreene]

Such a great recipe, Ida! I always like to throw in a handful of peas like my tia, Raquel (from Puerto Rico), used to do. She just turned 102! and insists on the peas. Who am I to argue lol?

[@butterpecanrican_]

I always wanted to learn how to make this. I love your channel so much! Thank you for teaching those of us whose moms had to work 2-3 min wage jobs to support the family and didn't have time to teach us how to cook

[@cruzramos5274]

I love that you have your videos in spanish and english. I've learned a lot of new recipes and my family loves it.

[@4evergreene]

Thank you SO much for your suggestion to soak the rice. I think that far too many people try to make asopao and do not soak the rice first so, when they cook - and in order for the rice to be cooked fully - the dish comes out more like arroz con pollo. The soaking is ESSENTIAL! Thank you!

[@lostheghost2418]

Thank you so much❤️❤️ my wife and I watch your vids all the time!!

[@nena00naja]

Hey, I would love to see sopa de camarones with the rice,I always wanted to learn how to make that..love your channel💓

[@jelatinosa]

Nina P she has it in her channel

[@h.lystramedina2285]

I will make this tomorrow, my husband will enjoy it.

[@lakeshaaliceagray755]

[@desireea4044]

Omg I love you and your channel so much!!!!!!!!! Boricuaaaaaaaaa

[@CheriMaraschino]

Thanks so much for your videos! I’m in NYC and my mom moved all the way to Florida so Ive been struggling learning how to cook like her but your channel has helped me so much ❤️

[@quito7188]

thanks for sharing your recipes, you cant please everyone but I really do enjoy watching you cook.

[@onemealaday1983]

So it’s a soupy chicken and rice dish. Man I bet it packs a ton of flavor.

[@hectorrivera6624]

Best Asopao ever!!!

[@robramos3513]

Awesome, one of the dishes I miss from my family. I love when they would make it.

[@robertogonzalez7026]

Thanks for the recipe!.. I just made it and it came out just like my mom's asopao.. It was delicious!! Thanks again!

[@nranderson778]

This looks so delicious, perfect for winter.

[@gixxerman1243]

Haven’t had this in many years… I’m so happy I came across your video cause, I just made it and it was amazing😁👌thank you so much. Love your videos❤️

[@lanarivera7521]

Thank you for this recipe, just got back from PR and i was looking for a recipe that was close to what I had, and this looks legit! Buen Provecho!

[@Elhombresanchez]

I know it’s late but happy new year. I always look forward to your videos. There are certain recipes that my mother never taught me so I get really excited when you share yours. Gracias y Dios te bendiga.

[@monikita777]

I just made this, mana Salió ríquisimo!!! Mil gracias por enseñar tremendo Plato, abrazos 😊

[@jasonsilva3523]

Do you ever add any vegetables in your asopao? Mi abuelita usually adds patatoes and carrots to her asopao de pollo. Also I love the idea of tostones, but I'm use to arepas with asopao.😀

[@sweetsandbeyond]

I do for soups, but traditional asopao is just rice.

[@jaymer500]

My mom always adds potato’s.

[@ZIOMY03]

Omg I’m drooling! Thank You for this recipe I can’t wait to make it tonight! 🇵🇷 ♥️

[@myrgo1648]

“Try it.” So adorable. Thank you for these videos. Wish I could go over and have some but yes I know...I have to make it myself :-)

Thank you so much for sharing your food!!! I have made a few of your dishes already and it came out amazing!!!

[@sophiegrillasca3253]

Yummy can’t wait to make it. Thank you so much!!

[@Rocksirox]

Thank you for sharing this! Now I’m in the mood for asopao de pollo! 🙂

[@rachellatinette1937]

Gracias por hacer este video. A mi clase de español le encanta. :)

[@natyreal]

Im actually doing that now lol this is soo cool cant wait!!

[@kgb2960]

OMG this looks soooo delicious! You have my mouth watering at 11:07 am!!!

[@Northern_lights99]

I love your page ❤

[@kellyorama2203]

Cannot wait to make this

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

That looks so good!

[@margariteolmos3457]

Looks delicious. I might remove the bones once it's cooked and just add the cooked chicken pieces to make it easier to eat. Thanks!

[@FeeFee7769]

This looks so yummy

[@cemetarybaby6352]

Omg looks sooooo good

[@nitaf71]

You took me back girl

[@veronicarodriguez6032]

Going to try this

[@tomekataylor6336]

I will be making this..👍👍

[@jaymer500]

Looks AMAAAZING. My mom makes it, too. How much water, broth, and rice would I use for 2 people?

[@petesusi]

Nice video and recipe. It’s actually closer to a Jambalaya or Etoufee than a Gumbo ( which is made with a dark roux). She may have chosen the word Gumbo because she keeps it soupy. In any event, it looks really delicious, lol.

[@sierratodd7789]

Is there anyway you can make this in the insta pot or tell me how exactly i would do it

[@carmenarroyo9235]

It's like a Cajun Jambalaya!

[@kgb2960]

Making this tomorrow!!!!

[@Mamaoftwoboys]

Looks yummy!

[@Llegando_Tarde]

Looks good

[@yolandarosa3914]

Bno yo le agrego 1chda sigue siendo mucho cada cual a su manera gracias Aida!

[@ChitoSantos23]

Buen Provecho.... 👍

[@kristinamorgan7760]

I absolutely love this recipe! I make it all the time for my family!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Me too!! Even my daughter's friends ask for it. it could be 90 degrees outside and they still want this soup

[@nisan5239]

As always yummy 🍴👏🏽

[@hrcubsgirl]

I’m going to try this. Doesn’t it matter the size of the rice grain? I have medium grain,would that be less time?

[@NicksterCranberries]

Que rico se ve eso! Buen provecho people!

[@angiedesantis3122]

Ida, noticed that in a lot of the PR recipes call for Canola oil. Is there a reason for that? I usually use either vegetable oil or corn oil. I also buy extra virgin olive oil. When I do my tostones I use regular oil. Just wondering. Thank you for your response.

[@yeseniaandrades5982]

Once you added the arroz, you leave covered or uncovered?

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Covered on low

[@passionparadise1596]

Yummy!!!!

[@nancyayala963]

when u add the rice do u cover it

[@millsbibi3552]

yummy!!!!!!!!

[@clarecarnivore5951]

So you leave the bone in the soup and just shred it off as you eat?

[@casperaudi7476]

Nice 👍

[@MonzterKai]

Ayuda can I use something else instead of chicken broth? O no se puede sin eso.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

If you have chicken bullion, you can use that

[@lucyw.mcmellan7274]

Thank you for all of your videos that I have enjoyed watching and made. However, I find that this one is a misnomer. I went to PR in June 2017 and ate Asopao de Pollo, and Asopao de Res. To me they were (are) Puerto Rican style soups, not gumbo. I live in New Orleans, and to us Gumbo starts with a roux, otherwise it's not gumbo. Esto lo digo con todo respeto.

[@johnheather04]

Hi- I was wondering if chicken breast would work too? Instead of thighs. Thanks!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Yes! You can use any piece of chicken

[@onemealaday1983]

Less room for error with breasts because they dry out Thighs will almost never dry out

[@Jay-cz9ry]

johnheather04 This type of soup can be made with chicken, beef or shrimp. They all taste GREAT.

[@rubyg1097]

❤️

[@GILFHUNTER187]

Can we add diced onions to throw in with the cilantro and sofrito?

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Yes you can!

[@MayanNapashYah]

how many people is it for? love your recipes!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

6-8

[@MayanNapashYah]

@@sweetsandbeyond I actually made it last night. It was delicious! My husband and kids loved it! Reminded me of my moms when I was a kid.

[@mamaluny]

How can I get a printed recipe?

[@foreverblessed6365]

Yummy!! Can potatoes go in it?

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Forever Blessed Sure!

[@linamontano1144]

How much water???

[@mercedesarboleda8998]

👍

[@Tokyotrickster]

Is there a place where I can see the recipe written down?

[@vanesahernandez298]

Yes please! I agree. Most people add it into the body of the video.

[@18wheelsarollin75]

How do you keep the rice from becoming moyogao with all that liquid??

[@sweetsandbeyond]

That's why you soak it first. At least 30 minutes, but you can soak it in water for up to 2 hours

[@18wheelsarollin75]

@@sweetsandbeyond ❤👌🙏 Thank you! My Titi said something similar but I couldn't remember..

[@lmw289]

That looks absolutely delicious! Do you deliver? 🤣

[@rosacontreras6999]

Alguien le hecha arroz previamente cocido?...does anyone use rice already cooked?..like left overs from the previous day or something?

[@francesita850]

A veces. Pero como que no se casan mucho los sabores

[@jaymer500]

Thats a different dish called arroz con leche. My mom makes that too. It’s so good.

[@miguelcontreras5203]

Can you make any vegan dishes?

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Miguel Contreras Some of my recipes can be made vegan.

[@jelatinosa]

My husband is vegan and i use her videos as a base for making vegan recipes all the time. If not try coqui vegan's recipes

[@GILFHUNTER187]

Bummer the ingredients aren’t in the subscription

[@yolandarosa3914]

Aida porque tanto sofrito?

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Es solo 1/4 taza que es 4 cucharadas. No es tanto.

[@jelatinosa]

Porque es rico

[@yolandarosa3914]

elines acevedo

[@lnicolas7]

Can you start selling your sofrito in Etsy?!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

That's a thing?? And funny I made this tonight

[@luzortiz5225]

Falta el aguacate 🥑

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Si!!

[@maddyf6942]

It looks good but too much sofrito for me. A lot of Puerto Rican’s cook with a lot of sofrito then it over powers the food and that is all you taste.

[@migdalin92]

Madeleine Rivera Thats how we like it. Each country has it own seasoning an its own flavor.

[@maddyf6942]

Miggie 1 I understand that. By the way I am Puerto Rican too.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

It's only 1/4 cup, which equals 4 tablespoons. It's not a lot. It doesn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. It's 8 cups of liquid.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Try it before saying it's not good.

[@maddyf6942]

Miggi 1 didn’t mean to send you all those messages my KZbin was acting up.....

[@ritagonzalez8869]

I tryed cooking this soup, but unfortunately didn't come out well, had no ideal how to cook the plantains 😭😭

[@dreamycalm]

Looks good, you didnt say how much water u used..

[@leticiarivera1737]

msjuicy hi you can eye it. 8 cups of water or you can add cause the rice sucks it up you can always add more.

[@leticiarivera1737]

msjuicy she did say 4 water 4 chicken broth.. I had to listen to it again.. you can also make with shrimp

[@sweetsandbeyond]

I did, at the beginning I said 4 cups water, 4 cups chicken broth, and when I added it to pot I mention the measurements again.
