Add in chopped and cleaned meat; cook and stir until meat is browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir in the remaining ingredients: corn, potatoes, cassava, plantains, bell peppers, and sofrito.

Pour enough broth/water to fill the pot 3/4 full and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Simmer over low heat and cook until all the vegetables and starchy tubers are tender and stew has formed a rich broth. This will take about 40-60 minutes.
