Ajiaco Colombiano
The origins of this dish are heavily debated between Colombia, Peru, and Cuba, but we discovered it through a friend from Bogota who swears by it as a cure-all.
A traditional chicken and potato soup. Slow-cooked to perfection, this comforting dish stews tender chicken with a variety of native potatoes, corn, and aromatic herbs. Guascas are a traditional Colombian herb, similar to a small bay leaf or leek, that adds a unique and aromatic flavor to dishes like Ajiaco. They have a gentle, slightly earthy and herbal taste with hints of garlic and mild pepper. When cooked, Guascas infuse the soup with a subtle, savory depth, enhancing the overall richness of the dish.
