Sancocho is a hearty Colombian soup made by simmering chicken or meat with assorted root vegetables and corn. A shared family meal, it is filling and nourishing.
Simmer the chicken with the onion, garlic, and water over medium heat, covered, for 40 minutes. Skim off the foam.
Add the tomato and cumin and simmer for 5 minutes more.
Add the potatoes, corn, and plantain. Cook over low heat for 25–30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3 days; the flavor deepens by the next day. It can be frozen for 2 months.
