Caldo Talpeno

This is a South American soup that I found at a restaurant in Espanola, New Mexico called "El Paragua " that my father and I stumbled onto during a road trip from Albuquerque to Taos a few years ago. It's a chicken based vegetable soup that is usually served in a thin stock broth. Over the past few years I've experimented with various ingredients and ultimately have decided to add cream of chicken soup to thicken the consistency.
