Make the asopao

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add yellow onion, carrots, celery, bell pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in rice, turmeric, and chile; cook, stirring often, until rice is lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth, yuca, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until rice and yuca are tender, 16 to 20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Season asopao with salt to taste.
