Sancocho Costeño (Atlantic Coast Sancocho)

Sancocho is a hearty soup made with meats and vegetables, in a broth usually flavored with herbs (cilantro or parsley), combined with achiote, garlic, onion, scallions and bell peppers. There are many variations of Sancocho, dependent on the region of Colombia. This dish warms the soul, heart and body, and is exactly what I expect to taste when I am craving a tasty, comforting, hot soup.

This is no Monday night, throw-together dinner, Sancocho is an event in a bowl!
In some Colombian homes, this is the typical Sunday meal, perfect for enjoying with your family.

Some variations of Colombian Sancochos include, chicken, fish, beef, oxtail, pork  and ribs, amongst others. The recipe I am sharing with you today is Sancocho Costeño (Atlantic Coast Sancocho). Serve it with white rice, aji, avocado and lime on the side.

Buen provecho!
