Colombian Chicken Soup: Ajiaco

There's no cream in this delicious creamy Colombian chicken soup. Ajiaco (the Spanish name) is thickened with potatoes and corn and has plenty of tender shredded chicken. 

Colombian Chicken Soup: Creamy with no cream or dairy - thickened with potatoes and corn.

This is a hearty soup, verging on stew. The broth is rich and creamy but without any cream!  It's made from chicken stock, pureed corn and grated potatoes.

Once the soup has cooked down to a wonderfully thick consistency, more corn and potatoes are added, along with shredded chicken, carrots, cilantro, and lime juice. The final tasty layer is a garnish of cubed avocado and salty capers.

roast chicken for soup

Chicken thighs are so delicious when you simply salt and pepper them, drizzle a little olive oil over them, and roast them in the oven for 20 minutes. Then they can easily be shredded and added to the soup.

An Adaptation of Traditional Ajiaco

Ajiaco is a very popular dish in Bogota, Colombia's capital city. My version is inspired by the classic Colombian dish but not quite the same. The traditional recipe calls for whole chunks of corn on the cob. I opted for kernels. 

Another ingredient always found in the traditional version is an herb called guasca, which is common in South America but also not so easy to find outside of SA, at least not in Newton Massachusetts. Luckily, a couple of bay leaves simmered in the broth make a good substitute.

I like to serve Colombian chicken soup with a citrusy green salad. It makes a great weeknight dinner but I also wouldn't hesitate to serve Ajiaco to company.

    I keep making this soup and sharing it with friends. It never lasts long. To save time, I shred a roasted chicken from Sam’s Club.
    This is a wonderful recipe and so delicious! A friend who moved here from Columbia said it reminds him of home/his mother’s recipe. Enough said.

    Hello, Lisa, I am Colombian. However, I am one of those Colombians that is good in the kitchen and I have accepted that. I clicked on the recipe because of the title; I was intrigued. Yes, this is not how my mother would make it but I think this is how I would make it. I liked the idea of corn kernels, (although I love the chunks of corn cobs in the soup) and the shredded chicken idea. I am going to incorporate those to my cooking. I also loved how you garnished the soup with the avocado. Colombian cooking for me is very elaborate, lots of chopping, stirring and long hours on the stove. I just can't. I agree with you that a chef or a cook makes the soup their own by adapting it to their taste. I only do two recipes exactly the same way every time. ONLY TWO. I kind of invent the wheel every time I cook. So, thank you for given the spotlight to a Colombian dish.

    Alba.

    I started searching for Columbian recipes after a weekend get away to Cleveland for our 25th wedding anniversary. I was drawn to a columbian restaurant in Lakewood. The menu said everything is gluten free unless marked. My dream come true. Many of the patrons were eating the chicken soup. That is what lead me to your recipe. I wish I had tried at the restaurant but new it was a popular menu item. I made your soup tonight and it was a big hit. A great joy to not have to make two versions to accommodate my gluten intolerance. It was wonderful. I tried to find an authentic version but the highly rated are in Spanish. My house of picky eaters loved your soup which is no small task. Thanks!!!! I would love for your Columbine posters to send you an authentic recipe in English so you can post and we can all enjoy. Nice job we enjoyed.

    I have to say I am proud Colombian but the Ajiaco soup is not chicken soup, the Ajiaco is basically a potato soup. It has not oregano or bay leaves not either carrots or many veggies, the base are potatoes, chicken, capers, cream and the green leaves called ‘guascas” that are so different to the bay leaves or the oregano leaves, my mother, grand mother, grate grand mother and aunts all of them used to prepare it and if you check the Colombian cooking literature , you will not fimd other thing than the “guascas” This souo looks delicious but it is not the real Ajiaco, this is a reformed version.

    I made this dish on Thursday. One mistake I made was adding both cups of fresh corn to the chicken stock and puréed it. In the end I just added a third cup of corn. I also used bone in thighs so I would have bones for stock later. I don't know if it is Columbian or not but the avocado in the end is a must. I enjoyed this recipe and will make it again. Love your recipes.

    EXCUSE ME!!!! BUT This is NO "COLOMBIAN AJIACO" OUR TRADICIONAL AND AMAZING SOUP. !
    This Could be the chicken rice soup but you will need off course the rice and some pees!!!
    AJIACO do NOT have cubes potatoes, NO tabasco!! carrots, cilantro, sweet corn, plus the chicken have to be cook "in" the broth NO apart! the different kind of potatoes is a clue! even if you cant have the papa criolla you can use 3 different kind of American one's in slices no cubes. Closer to Newton MA or any other city in USA is plenty of latino market where you can find "Guascas", PLUS you served white rice and delicious avocado!!
    From CA - New England and Fl, I am pretty sure you can find the ingredient's because I did it.!
    your recipe sounds good but do not deserve to have the name of Colombia Ajiaco.

    Real Ajiaco does not have carrots, pureed corn or grated potatoes. Guscas are key in giving flavor and they can be easily found in the US. Sorry but the recipe is nothing like the original dish, should this soup something else because is totally misleading. Sorry

      This recipe looks delicious, but having traveled to Colombia many times (my wife is Colombian), I have to agree with Catherine. Normally, variations on traditional recipes are fine, but ajiaco uses the herb guascas. Guascas have a very unique flavor that has no substitute and without it the soup really isn't ajico. Ajiaco can typically be purchased at latino markets or on Amazon.

      You can see the traditional recipe here: https://antojandoando.com/recetas/ajiaco-santafereno-aa/. It is in Spanish, but with lots of step-by-step photos.

      I am Colombian andI found very sad that a great plate likethe Ajiaco, like one of a Colombian National plate was so reformes, next to desapear in this recipe, not close to the original that has more that 200 years!

      This soup looks good...yes! But II IS NOT AJIACO!

        Hi Lulu, Thank you for your comment. I'm so sorry that you were sad to see my non-traditional version of Colombian Chicken Soup. I tried to make it clear in my post that my recipe is "inspired" by Ajiaco but that it is not identical to traditional Ajiaco. I was very inspired by your wonderful national dish. Like many chefs, I often like to take my own creative direction with recipes. I appreciate your love of the authentic Ajiaco and I love it too! But in this particular recipe I was letting my own creative juices flow to create my own version. I hope you will give this recipe a chance and judge it based on how much you enjoy it. PS: I would love if you would send me your Authentic recipe so I can try your version and maybe I'll post it on the blog as "Authentic Colombian Ajiaco."
