Incorporate red peruvian pepper paste and yellow frozen pepper paste into the pot.

Add homemade garlic paste to the mixture.

Add carrots and peruvian corn to the pot.

Drain water from the potatoes and add them to the pot.

Incorporate the remaining beef broth, about 2.5 cups.

Once boiling, cover the pot and let the potatoes cook for about 5 minutes, ensuring they remain firm and do not disintegrate.
