Number Of Ingredients 13

12 large chicken wings, halved
3 large limes
1 dash(es) seasoned salt
2 Tbsp canola oil
3 large green onion, finely chopped
1/2 large green pepper, cubed
1 1/2 lb potatoes, diced
2 large carrots, diced
2 large bay leaves
1 Tbsp whole allspice
3 medium jalapeno peppers
1/4 c cilantro, chopped
1 medium lime, cut into rounds

Steps:

1. Rinse chicken wings and soak 10 minutes in vinegar water to facilitate the removal of their skin. Remove skin from the wings.
2. In a bowl, combine chicken wings with the juice of one of the limes. Add seasoned salt to taste. Marinate for 1/2 hour.
3. In a pot large enough, sauté the onions over low heat for 10 minutes until lightly browned. Add the green pepper and sauté for 5 minutes over low heat.
4. Add the potatoes, carrots, bay leaves, and chicken wings. Mix well and cook 10 minutes over low heat.
5. Add water to cover, then add the allspice, the juice of the other two limes and seasoned salt to taste. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer one hour.
6. Halfway through cooking, add the jalapeños.
7. When done, ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with the chopped cilantro and a couple of thin lime rounds.
