LATIN AMERICAN COOKING ACROSS THE USA by Novas and Silva  Rinse the
chicken under cold running water. Put the chicken, water,  half of the
minced onions, 2 cloves garlic, and the salt and pepper  in a large
stockpot. Bring to a boil, covered, over medium-high heat,  then reduce
the heat and simmer the chicken, covered, for 1+1/2 hours.  Remove the
chicken from the stock to a large plate. Bone the chicken  breasts and
cut into bite-size chunks. Return the chunks of chicken  breast to the
pot. Reserve the rest of the chicken meat for another  use.  Cut the
pieces of yuca in half lengthwise, cut away the fibrous core  in the
center of each piece with a paring knife, then cut the yuca  into
1/2-inch chunks. Add the yuca, potatoes, the remaining onions  and 2
cloves garlic, and the cumin to the stock. Bring to a boil,  covered,
then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.  Add the
plantains and lemon juice to the soup, and continue simmering  until
the plantains are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the soup  from the
heat, and stir in the scallions and cilantro. Taste and  adjust the
seasoning, and serve at once.  Serves 8 to 10 as a first course and 4
to 5 as a main entree.  Source: Latin American Cooking Acorss The
