Since moving to Bristol, I no longer have a local Colombian joint serving my favourite Saturday soup. So I took it into my own hands to make it at home!

3 teaspoons of olive oil 1 chopped spring onion A bunch of coriander, finely chopped 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 tomato, finely chopped Season with salt and pepper, one teaspoon chicken powder 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Boil a large pot of water and add in the chicken, 1/2 onion, 1 whole spring onion and a small bunch of coriander. Bring this to the boil and then reduce the heat to medium for 15 minutes.

Prepare the veg whilst the soup is boiling. Peel and cut the plantain and cassava.

Break the corn in cob in half and peel and cut the potatoes into smaller pieces.

After 15 mins of the soup cooking, in a separate pan, prepare the sofrito by mixing all the ingredients listed under the sofrito title. Using medium heat, cook this until it becomes soft and slightly saucy. Remove the chicken from the soup pot and place these in the sofrito mix to cook for another five mins. Remove from heat.

Now with the soup, remove the 1/2 onion and whole spring onion. Add the cassava, plantain, potatoes and corn. Add in the chopped coriander and chicken powder and cook on a low heat until the vegetables are soft and tender when pierced. I covered the pot and let this cook.
