Making Ajiaco With a Professional Chef In Colombia | The Chubby Gourmet

Visit the food stand owned by chef Mamalu to learn about Ajiaco.

Explain that Ajiaco is a potato soup with three types of potatoes, guascas, corn, and shredded chicken.

Peel the potatoes using a knife, removing all the skin for the recipe.

Boil the first potato for about an hour until soft and mushy.

Add the other potatoes and ingredients to the pot for another hour.

Remove the breast meat from the boiled chicken and shred it into long strips for presentation.

Soak the guascas before adding them to the soup.

Plate the Ajiaco carefully to maintain presentation.

Serve with capers and heavy cream on top, and optionally add rice.
