About Ajiaco Santafereño
Erica Dinho identifies this classic Colombian soup as ajiaco bogotano or santafereño, associated with Bogotá. Her version combines skinless bone-in chicken breast, corn and three kinds of potatoes, including papa criolla.
Guascas provides the characteristic herbal flavour, with garlic, scallions and optional cilantro in the broth. Chicken bouillon, salt and pepper complete the soup’s seasoning.
The shredded chicken and potato mixture form a thick, substantial soup served hot. Heavy cream and capers accompany it separately, while avocado and a green salad are the author’s optional side dishes.
