Instructions
- 1Combine the adobo seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides evenly with the spice mixture.
- 2Heat a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.
- 3In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the fresh garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4Add the pumpkin, potato, and cabbage to the pot, stirring to coat with the oil and spices. Return the chicken thighs to the pot.
- 5Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables by about 1 inch, then add the salsa lizano and fresh cilantro. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 25–30 minutes until the potato and cabbage are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- 6Remove from heat and taste; adjust seasoning with additional adobo or salt as desired.
- 7Divide the soup evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot, allowing to cool slightly before sealing. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
