Chicken Souse Soup

In a 4-quart saucepan, over high heat, bring the chicken stock, allspice and red pepper flakes to a boil. Cover the saucepan, then simmer, over low heat for 10 minutes.

Add the garlic, onion, celery, carrots and potatoes and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes more or until the potatoes are tender.

Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, uncovered or until the chicken is just cooked through. Season with salt to taste and discard the allspice tied in cheesecloth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the lime juice, mint and cilantro. Serve immediately.
