Crillo de Pollo

== Description ==
This chicken and vegetable soup is an Argentinean classic. It is as thick as a stew and as creamy as a bisque. 
* 6 servings
* 1 hour 10 minutes 5 
== Ingredients ==
* 2 large onions, coarsely chopped
* 3½ chicken breasts, cut into 4 pieces
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ½ teaspoon pepper
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
* 2 bay leaves
* 8 cups chicken stock
* 3 large russet potatoes, peeled cut into chunks
* 6 carrots, cut into 2-inch
* 3 ears corn, cut into 3-inch
* 1 egg yolk, beaten
* ½ cup cream
* 2 teaspoons arrowroot (optional)
* 2 tablespoons minced parsley
* 1 tablespoon minced cilantro 
== Directions ==
# Preheat oven to 400 °F.
# Spread half of the onions in a large, deep baking dish.
# Place chicken on top.
# Season with salt and pepper.
# Sprinkle garlic, thyme and bay leaves over chicken.
# Spread remaining onions on top; drizzle with 1 cup stock.
# Roast uncovered for 30 minutes, or until chicken turns golden around the edges.
# Place chicken (remove skin, if desired), onions, garlic and herbs in a 6-quart soup pot.
# Deglaze roasting pan with some water or stock and add to the pot.
# Add the remaining stock and the potatoes to the pot.
# Simmer for 15 minutes, then add the carrots and corn.
# Simmer for 25 minutes.
# Using a wide fork, roughly mash at least 4 of the "falling apart" potato chunks to help thicken the soup.
# Beat egg yolk into the cream, then beat in ½ cup of the stock from the soup pot.
# Blend in the arrowroot if you want a thicker soup.
# Pour the cream mixture back into the soup, stirring until well-blended.
# Just before serving, add the minced parsley and cilantro.
# Ladle into wide, deep soup bowls.
# Make sure each bowl has a chunk of potato, a piece of chicken, a couple of carrots and a piece of corn.
