Directions

1

In a large pot boil the chicken.
2

I usually do this because the white foamy stuff that boils to the top I like to take out.
3

Once it has been boiled, add corn, chicken bouillon if used, salt and green plantains.
4

Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium and cook for about 30 to 35 minutes.
5

Add the potatoes, yuca and pepper and continue cooking for 30 more minutes or until the yuca and potatoes are fork tender.
6

Stir in the cilantro.
7

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve in large soup bowls (this goes really well with rice!)
