Sancocho

Start with a large pot of water.

Add chicken (breast or thighs) to the water.

Season the water with sea salt to taste.

Mash garlic cloves slightly and add them to the water.

Add one big onion to the water.

Add about two tablespoons of sofrito to the water.

Add beef to the pot with the chicken.

Cook the mixture for two hours, adding more water if it gets low, until the meat is super tender.

Chop up vegetables: celery, carrots, and onions, and set them aside.

Add the chopped vegetables to the pot after the meat is tender.

Add grated green bananas to the soup, which will turn into little balls as they cook.

Add more water to the pot if necessary, bringing it back to the original water line.

Add corn to the soup after adjusting the water level.

Add culantro to the soup for flavor, breaking it up a bit before adding.

Cut up an avocado and serve it with the soup.
