I just came across this fantastic slow cooker recipe for sancocho and I can't wait to get my sancocho on. I did not grow up enjoying bowls of sancocho, but I can tell just by looking at the ingredients that I am going to LOVE it. Nothing, but nothing says comfort to me like a bowl of hearty soup. Also, can I just say that I absolutely love ears of corn in soups?! The corn reminds me of the delicious caldos that my abuela used to make. More soups should feature corn still on the cob.
