Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for traditional soup from Cayambe.

List the ingredients: pork ribs, chicken breast, wheat flour, pea flour, barley rice, achiote seeds, onion, garlic, white onion, celery, cilantro, and seasonings.

Process barley rice in a food processor for about 5 minutes to make flour.

Sift the flour to remove any larger pieces.

Prepare two pots: one for pork ribs with cumin, pepper, salt, and onion, and another for chicken breast with onion, celery, and crushed garlic.

Cook both proteins for about 45 minutes until done.

Remove the meats from the pots and reserve the broths.

Toast the flour in a pan for about 5 minutes without oil until it turns a brown color.

Allow the toasted flour to cool before diluting it in the chicken broth.

Once cooled, mix the toasted flour into the chicken broth ensuring no lumps remain.

Add the diluted flour mixture back to the pot with the pork broth, stirring continuously to thicken the soup.

Return the pork ribs to the pot and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, adding hot water as needed to reach desired consistency.

Shred the cooked chicken and prepare for serving.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving the soup.

Present the soup garnished with hard-boiled egg slices, toasted corn, aji slices, and the proteins.
