    Sancocho is one of my favorite traditional Colombian soups. There are many variations of Sancocho throughout Colombia, depending on the region, while you’ll find other versions around Latin America. Of course every family puts their own twist on Sancoho recipe too!

    What is Sancocho?

    It is basically a very thick soup made with root vegetables and different kinds of meats, in a broth, usually flavored with herbs (cilantro or parsley), combined with achiote, garlic, onion, scallions and bell peppers. It is almost a stew, but still considered a soup. Every Sancocho recipe you try may be different from the last and unique in its own right.

    In Colombia are always served with avocado, white rice and ají picante (Colombian hot sauce) on the side. This is the typical Sunday meal in some Colombian homes, perfect for enjoying with your family. 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.
