The King of Traditional Colombian Soups in NJ: The Sancocho

A true Sancocho features a slow-simmered broth packed with large cuts of meat (beef, chicken, or pork), thick slices of plantain, yuca (cassava), potatoes, and corn on the cob. It is traditionally garnished with fresh cilantro and served with a side of white rice and avocado.
