1 1/4 gallons water, or more as needed
1 (13.75 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef consomme
4 cubes beef bouillon cubes, divided
1 1/2 pounds Spanish pumpkin, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 pound eddeos, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 pound yuca (cassava) roots, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks

1 dash adobo seasoning (optional)

1
Mash garlic, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl.
2
Douse chicken, beef, and pork with lemon juice in a large bowl. Drain half the liquid. Mix the mashed garlic, half of the onions, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and vinegar into the meat mixture.
3
Heat the remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat mixture in batches and cook until browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Transfer the browned meats into a large pot. Add half of the water, chicken broth, beef consomme, 2 bouillon cubes, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until meats are more than halfway cooked through, about 40 minutes.
5
Combine pumpkin, sweet potatoes, eddeos, yuca, potatoes, plantains, corn, celery, carrots, green pepper, cilantro, and adobo seasoning in the simmering pot. Return soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and continue simmering until the sancocho is thick and the root vegetables are soft, 1 to 2 hours. Stir in the remaining half of the water by gradual increments to replace any evaporated liquid.
