1 frying chicken
6 qts. water
1 tsp. oregano
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper, to taste
6 med. potatoes, cut into chunks
1 med. onion, peeled and minced
2 or more cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 c. or more chopped green chiles
8 oz. sliced mushrooms

In a large stockpot, combine chicken, water, oregano, bay leaf, salt and pepper.

Discard skin and bones.
Return chicken meat to pot.
Add potatoes, onion, garlic, and green chiles.

For a shortcut you may use chicken broth and frozen cut-up chicken instead of cooking the chicken, but it is not as good as making it from scratch!
