DESCRIPTION

There are a few versions of sancocho out there (in fact, there are probably multiple recipes of it within the same country), but this is the way my grandma used to make it. Sancocho is basically a chicken based soup that gets its distinct flavour from cilantro and yuca (or cassava).

INGREDIENTS

1 roasting chicken, cut into pieces (you can also just use 3-4 whole chicken breasts)
3 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon cilantro, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped into bite-sized pieces
3 lbs yucca root, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces (also called cassava)
4 cups chicken stock (the kind bought in a box is fine)
salt and pepper
