Chicken or Beef Vegetable Soup

1/2 Chicken or big chunk of Beef - however much you desire

1 Chayote

3 Carrots

2 Potatoes

Several leaves of mint

Salt and Pepper

Cook the chicken or beef in a large pot with as much water as you desire. Cut the vegetables in chunks. When the meat is cooked half way, add the vegetables and pepper. Add the salt closer to the end of cooking time. 

Substitutes or additions: 

You can substitute the mint for cilantro.

You can add or exchange other vegetables.

Cabbage or zucchini are great, as well as chunks of corn on the cob.

To give the soup a little zing, add a habanero or jalapeño.

Enjoy with corn tortillas or fresh bread!
