👨🍳 Instructions
- Place chicken breast, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chicken broth in a large pot; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken, shred it, and set aside. Add all three types of potatoes and corn on the cob to the pot; simmer until potatoes are tender and begin to break down, thickening the soup.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and guascas; cook for another 5-10 minutes to infuse the herb's flavor.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the hot Ajiaco into bowls, placing a piece of corn on the cob in each.
- Garnish each serving with a dollop of heavy cream, a sprinkle of capers, and a few slices of fresh avocado before serving immediately.
