    Hervido Llanero is a traditional Colombian soup. This is a hearty, flavorful and filling dish.

     Colombian Chicken Soup LlaneroPin

    Sancochos, or Hervidos, are hearty soups that contain many ingredients. There are different variations of the dish depending on the zone of the country, and some of them have the same names, yet have different ingredients. In the zone of Los llanos, Colombia, Sancocho is called Hervido, and here is my recipe for Hervido de Pollo.

    I love my soups, especially traditional Colombian soups. Colombian cuisine has a vast repertoire of incredibly tasty, filling, and comforting soups. This is not a fancy soup, but it is absolutely delicious and a perfect dish if you want to taste the flavors of Colombian cuisine.

    I like to serve this soup with avocado, Colombian ají sauce and lime wedges. You can also serve it with a simple green salad.

      I could have soup morning, noon and night - winter and 90-degree summer days. It's in my DNA. I am loving how different this is from my soups. I have never used peppers - or plantains in them and love the idea of it.

      Soncocho is one of my favorite Colombian dishes. I love to add avocado to mine. The recipe that my aunt in laws taught me from Antioquia doesn't have squash or achiote but has 2 types of potatoes and yucca. I like to add corn on the cob to it as well. We also usually make it with pork meat instead of chicken but I like both. It is such an easy and comforting dish! Thank you for sharing.
