Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hen

    Clean the whole hen thoroughly under cold water and remove any feathers. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Peel and cut the yuca, potatoes, plantains, and carrots into large chunks. Cut the corn into halves or thirds.

  3. 3

    Chop Aromatics

    Mince the garlic, chop the onion, and dice the green bell pepper. Rinse the cilantro and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Start the Broth

    In a large pot, add the cleaned hen and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Add Aromatics

    Once boiling, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, diced green bell pepper, and half of the cilantro. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Spices

    Stir in the salt, black pepper, cumin, and sazon seasoning. Mix well.

  4. 7

    Add Vegetables

    Add the yuca, potatoes, plantains, corn, and carrots to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 8

    Simmer the Soup

    Cover the pot and let the sancocho simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the hen is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  6. 9

    Finishing Touch

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the hen, shred the meat, and return it to the pot. Stir in the remaining cilantro just before serving.
