Notes
Any cut of chicken is fine for this Cuban Chicken Soup recipe, I find that chicken thighs fall apart nicely though, which is nice in a soup. They also have more flavor.
If you can, use bone-in chicken thighs. The bones are easy fish out after and they give a lot more flavor.
To make things quicker you could use the meat from a Rotisserie chicken and forget the first 45 minutes of cooking time.
