Potato Corn and Chicken Stew (Ajiaco)

By

This stew gets most of its creamy texture from the potatoes. Cubed Yukon gold potatoes impart a golden color, while grated Russets release their starch to provide a velvety mouthfeel without added cream. Grate the potatoes on the small holes of a box grater to make sure they dissolve into the broth. Potato Corn and Chicken Stew
or Ajiaco is a creamy and hearty recipe that is best served with a crusty loaf of bread for dipping.

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add half of chicken; cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove chicken from pan. Repeat procedure with remaining half of chicken. Remove from pan; discard drippings.

Place 1 cup broth and 1/2 cup corn kernels in a food processor, process until corn is pureed.

Heat Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and carrot; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in pureed corn mixture, remaining 2 1/2 cups broth, remaining 1 cup corn, 1 1/2 cups water, oregano, and thyme; bring to a simmer. Stir in baking potato.

Return chicken thighs to pan; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently to keep potatoes from sticking to the pan. Add Yukon gold potato; cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove chicken from pan; cool slightly.

Remove chicken from bones, discarding bones. Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return shredded chicken to pan. Stir in cilantro and next 4 ingredients (through black pepper); cook uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Ladle soup into bowls; top with avocado and capers.
