Sancocho
This is a feel good soup. When you're sick, or just want soup it's a homemade soup that always is amazing! And I don't usually even like soup!

Directions
In a large pot boil the chicken. I usually do this because the white foamy stuff that boils to the top I like to take out.
Once it has been boiled, add corn, chicken bouillon if used, salt and green plantains.
Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium and cook for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Add the potatoes, yuca and pepper and continue cooking for 30 more minutes or until the yuca and potatoes are fork tender.
Stir in the cilantro.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve in large soup bowls (this goes really well with rice!)
