Panamanian Sancocho image

I grew up in the Canal Zone and sancocho is a must for large family meals. Sancocho is a Latin chicken soup with cilantro and yuca (or cassava). Keep in mind, there are a variety of recipes out there this is just the one my nanny used to make us.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 cups water
1 whole chicken
2 plantains, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 onion, chopped
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 pounds yuca (cassava) roots, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
6 small red potatoes, quartered
1 (15.25 ounce) can corn, drained

Steps:

  • Combine water, chicken, plantains, onion, cilantro, garlic, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until chicken is longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove the chicken and let cool. Add yuca, potatoes, and corn to the soup; cook over medium heat until yuca and potatoes are softened, about 30 minutes.
  • Discard chicken skin and bones. Place meat back into the soup; stir to combine.
