Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 plantains, peeled and quartered

2 tomatoes, diced
1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; fry the plantains and potatoes in the hot oil until crisp on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside, keeping the oil in the pot.
Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken and chorizo; season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: For a tender and flavorful broth, use a chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs. These cuts have a good amount of marbling, which will help to flavor the broth.
Brown the beef before simmering: Browning the beef in a hot pot or pan before adding it to the soup pot will help to develop its flavor and color.
Add vegetables and herbs to the broth: Vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, and garlic add flavor and depth to the broth. Herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley also add flavor and complexity.
Simmer the soup for at least 2 hours: The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will become. Simmer the soup for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a richer flavor.
Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished simmering, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a splash of red wine or vinegar for a bit of acidity.
Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Pochero is traditionally served with rice, but you can also serve it with noodles, potatoes, or bread. You can also top the soup with chopped parsley, cilantro, or green onions.

Conclusion:

Pochero is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a soup that is uniquely yours.
