Sancocho: Diverse Flavors From Across Colombia

Sancocho is known around Latin America as a comforting, traditional soup that can be eaten day or night. With hundreds of recipes and variations, the dish takes many forms, but in essence it consists of a flavorful broth, meats, and root vegetables. Across the many regions of Colombia, cooks take influence from their unique histories and make sancocho with indigenous ingredients like catfish, pigeon peas, cassava, and much more.

I’m Canadian and it gets very cold up here, this time of year. The thought of having Sancocho warms me right up. I need some badly.

You can make it at home, it's super easy, you can get the ingredients here now.

My wife is Colombian and the first time I had sancocho we were in Barranquilla (first time, in my case), it was 40 degrees and people were having it boiling hot in the backyard, under a tree at midday. I thought they were insane to have soup for lunch when it was so hot but I went along. Nowadays I love it and I’ll have it for lunch, dinner or whatever, no matter how it is outside. Colombian cuisine and culture are absolutely amazing and I am very happy that I’ve had the chance to experience it! Love this country! ♥️🇨🇴

I've never had sancocho. But now I feel like, no matter who puts sancocho in front of me, I have to love it, tell them I love it, even if I don't. Because how can you tell these wonderful people that you do not enjoy sancocho, it's too important.

This soup is from west Africa, its called "pepper soup". It came over when the slaves left our continent. I never heard of it until I made it for a neighbor from Nicaragua and he said "wow, this is sancocho"! I love that my people carried their traditions over! Also Mofongo is from my tribe so you dont need a DNA test to tell you where you are from. Mofongo isn't eaten all over the continent, its eaten in very specific tribes in Liberia and Nigeria so y'all know where y'all from! Ola mi gente!!!

[@valdandjbetol]

Colombians already know that, they are very rich culturally. You can find every color and culture there, and they all love and respect each other so much.

[@jaredrios9575]

Pepper pot not pepper soup is a soup from the Caribbean. Natives threw the Caribbean and South America ate a soup of peppers, chilies, root vegetables, squash, meat and fish. Peppers, chilies, squash, cassava, potato, are not native to Africa. Mofongo isn't the same as fufu. Puerto Rican Mofongo is stuffed with pork, spices, herbs and is dense unlike fufu where it's bland, sticky and used as a spoon or a plain dumpling.

The audio mix on this video is really bad. I sometimes can't hear people over the music, sometimes can't hear people over each other or they're just way different volumes. Even worse, some of the subtitled translations are completely off. I really like this guy as a presenter, but the editing completely ruins his efforts. I thought Vice had a modicum of pride in the quality of their work?

I don’t understand these comments at all. Sancocho must be the blandest soup I’ve ever tasted. I’ve tasted it 3 or 4 different times and am mind blown every time. The friend telling me how much they love the soup. It just tasted like a couple ingredients boiled in water. No seasoning added. I love trying new foods. I’ll try it every time someone asks me to. So far it’s a 0/10

So this was cool and all, but I thought it was a little weird to not have any shots of people actually.. like.. eating it, you know? You went through all this trouble of showing the preparation and the context, and then you cut it off right when someone is going to eat it. Very few reactions, very few shots of the finished product. Weird iono.
