hernesheir commented on the word sancocho
A traditional soup/stew in several Spanish and Latin American cuisines whose variations represent popular national dishes in the Canary Islands of Spain, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Argentina, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. It usually consists of pieces of meat and vegetables served in a broth or some sort, creamy or otherwise. Derived in part, at least in the Caribbean, from Puchero Canario or sancocho from Canary Island immigrants to Latin America.
