Sancocho

A hearty soup made with chicken, plantains, yucca, and corn.

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Pour in the water, then add the corn, green plantains, yellow plantains, yucca, potatoes, carrot, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 1-1.5 hours, or until the chicken and vegetables are tender.
  5. Stir in the lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
  6. Serve the sancocho hot, garnished with the remaining cilantro.
