Ajiaco Soup

(5 stars based on 3 reviews)
Ajiaco Soup is a typical soup from Bogotá and is a very comforting meal, especially on a chilly day. Dry guascas leaves, an aromatic herb with rough green leaves and typical of the Andean region, lend its unique flavor to this soup. Its aroma will have everyone waiting impatiently at the table. Look for guascas at a Colombian "bodega" (neighborhood store).

    Colombian Ajiaco

    Earlene Manrique from MIRAMAR, FL

    I made this for my family and they loved it. I tastes very authentic to that which I had in Colombia, but I'm sure easier to prepare. It went together in a snap and the flavors are rich and satisfying.

    easy and good

    Carine Nadel from LAGUNA HILLS, CA

    This wasn't that big of a deal to make, and it was a very tasty homey dish. I liked that it was one pot in a way and a complete meal that tasted good even the next day.
