Chef tips
For a rich, thick sancocho, add hardy vegetables like yuca and corn at the start of the cooking process, and save the potatoes and pumpkin for later to keep the texture just right. For an authentic touch, serve this soup with white rice and fresh avocado slices; kids will love helping to shuck the corn or mashing the potatoes right in their own bowls.
