# In one cup of chicken stock, simmer scallions, cilantro, and cumin for a few minutes.
# In the remaining 1¼ quarts of chicken stock, simmer the quartered, skinned chicken breasts. 
# As the chicken starts to simmer, add cut-up, peeled yucca, and cut-up potatoes. 
# You may continue to skim off scum after the yucca and potatoes are in the soup.
# About a half hour from completion time, add cut-up plaintains.
# 10 minutes before completion time, add the processed scallions-cilantro-cumin, and the juice from 2 lemons.
# Add roux to "bind" the soup, stirring to mix it well.
# Make sure the potatoes and yucca are cooked to softness, and examine a piece of chicken to check for doneness. 
# Add salt and pepper to taste.
