Ajiaco Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, combine the chicken pieces and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 30 minutes, skimming any foam that rises to the surface.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the corn pieces, diced potatoes, guasca, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken pieces from the pot and let them cool slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a drizzle of heavy cream and a sprinkle of capers. Serve with a side of rice and sliced avocado.
