When I'm suffering from my nearly annual bronchial infection, Aranda Taqueria, one of our neighborhood's many Mexican joints, serves up a scalding hot bowl of Caldo de Pollo that serves as a suitable replacement for my late Jewish grandmother's chicken soup.
The blazing hot, flavorful broth comes with an abundance of chicken on the bone, onions, cilantro, dried chiles, limes, and a stack of tortillas. It's kinda like a Mexican version of Pho. It's never actually cured what ails me, but it brings me a fair piece toward feeling human again.
