Sancocho is a traditional Panamanian soup that is often considered the country's national dish. It is a hearty and comforting soup made with a variety of meats such as chicken, beef, and pork, along with vegetables like yuca, plantains, and corn. The soup is simmered for hours to allow the flavors to meld together, resulting in a rich and flavorful broth. Sancocho is often served with a side of white rice and avocado slices.
