At its core, an authentic caldo de pollo relies on the extraction of flavor from bone-in chicken. Unlike many modern soups that use pre-made broth or lean, boneless cuts, a traditional caldo begins with whole pieces—often drumsticks and thighs—simmered with aromatics like garlic, onion, and bay leaves.
