Ingredients
- 2 x chicken breasts garlic and onion chicken stock
- 12 sm yellow potatoes, cut in halves
- 2 x ears of corn, cut in halves
- 8 med potatoes, peeled and cut into 5mm slices
- 1 bn scallions
- 1 bn cilantro
- 8 tsp guascas
- 1 c. heavy cream
- 2 tsp capers, liquid removed
- 2 x avocados, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced salt
Directions
- The night before marinate the chicken breasts with garlic, onion and salt. In a heavy 4-liter casserole, put the breasts, add in water, cover and cook till the chicken is tender. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Remove the skin from the chicken and throw away. Cut the chicken breasts into strips. Cook the yellow potatoes in the casserole with the chicken stock till they start to disintegrate. Add in more chicken stock to taste. At this point the soup should be thick and fairly smooth. Add in the bunch of scallions, the bunch of cilantro, the sliced potatoes, the guascas, and the corn. When cooked remove the bunch of cilantro and the bunch of scallions. Serve the chicken on soup bowls and pour the soup into the bowls. Pour 3 Tablespoons of cream and 1 teaspoon of minced capers on each bowl. Float the sliced avocado on top.
- Serves 4.
- Note: You definitively have to use guascas if you want to call your soup Ajiaco. It's not easy to get them out of Colombia, but they give this soup its characteristic flavor. Francisco Uribe wrote "Ajiacos a traves del mundo" that is the most comprehensive description of this herb I've read so far.
