- 400 g yucca peeled and chopped
- 2 finely chopped garlic cloves
- 1 finely chopped egg onion
- 150 g grated arracacha
- 1 celery stalk
- 1 chopped tomato

In a pot, add water and bring to boil. Peel the plantains, potatoes, and yucca, and chop them. Rinse these ingredients.
Add plantains and yucca to the pot, followed by the chopped corn cobs.
Add the celery stalk, chopped onion, and tomato, season with salt and pepper, and bring to boil.
Once boiling, add the food coloring, cumin, garlic, and grated arracacha. Cook for approximately 15 minutes.
Then, add the chopped fish and potatoes. Continue cooking for 20 to 25 minutes until everything is soft. If you want a thicker consistency, grate an additional potato and add it to the broth before the 25-minute cooking time concludes.
Add chopped cilantro at the end and serve.
