This was delicious. Thank you so much for posting. I'm sorry about all the ill-tempered reviewers out there who are outraged over the authenticity of the recipe. Don't let them discourage you! Keep the recipes coming! You were very clear about this being your own take on it. Thanks a lot.

While I am pretty sure this is not an authentic recipe of Columbia, the ingredients intrigued me.... so I gave it a shot and it didn't turn out quite like I had imagined... The amount of time that you give the ingredients to cook was really off to make it a stew and your directions were missing a few instructions for the ingredients you listed. I cooked it quite a bit longer and had to tweak this recipe to make it like I had imagined it... pretty good... I would probably give this the name, "Latin Chicken Stew" rather than the Sancocho....

Wow, not sure if this is a good recipe, but it is not a true Colombian dish. There are no peppers in this dish and definitely No Habenero. Colombian cuisine does not use chilies. My family is from Cali Colombia. Please rename your recipe.

I do agree that is not a traditional Colombian Sancocho but it's still great. I made it for my family from Colombia and my mom like it allot

Unfortunately, not for those who dislike eating corn and potatoes. Very hearty. Use a big, big pot.

I'm sorry, but the recipe for this "Sancocho Soup" is not like the soup that I grew up eating. My family is from Cali, Colombia and the ingredients that you included in this recipe are incorrect. I suggest you look into the true ingredients that a "Colombian Sancocho" includes and put that on your website. Now, if you are trying to replace the true ingredients, then please say so, but this recipe is not the sancocho recipe. Thanks.

When I saw this recipe, I wondered if the sancocho you refered to was actually colombian or panamenian. Being next door neighbors, many colombian restaurants in Panama call their sancocho "ajiaco". But this recipe is neither the panamenian sancocho or the colombian ajiaco. Both very similar in nature but with variations in the ingredients used. Both delicious and I highly recomend them for cold season.
