AJIACO (COLOMBIAN CHICKEN, POTATO AND CORN SOUP)



Ajiaco (Colombian Chicken, Potato and Corn Soup) image

This Colombian soup is served in restaurants throughout Bogota and is generally considered comfort food. It can contain as many as three different kinds of potatoes, but we streamlined this recipe to use two (Yukon gold and purple, though you can substitute red bliss for the purple). The garnishes add brightness and bring the soup to life.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken leg quarters (leg and thigh; about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt
1 cup diced onion (about 1 medium onion)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems roughly chopped, 1 cup leaves reserved
1 bunch scallions, roughly chopped, whites and greens separated
1 to 2 teaspoons habanero hot sauce
3 tomatoes, cored, seeded and chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 pound mixed Yukon gold and purple (or red bliss) potatoes, quartered and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 ear corn, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 to 2 avocados, sliced, for serving
1/2 cup sour cream or creme fraiche, for serving
1/4 cup capers, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 5-quart pot, combine the chicken, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 8 cups water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and skim any foam or impurities from the top. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, cilantro stems and scallion whites. Simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is tender and releases easily when pierced with a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl to cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make the aji sauce: In a food processor, combine the scallion greens, hot sauce, tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup of the cilantro leaves and pulse to a coarse sauce. Set aside. (Alternatively, the ingredients can be chopped by hand and stirred to combine.)
  • Add the potatoes to the soup along with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Cover, bring back to a simmer and simmer another 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove the chicken meat from the bones and shred with your hands or 2 forks (discard the bones and skin). Set aside.
  • Add the corn to the soup and cook until the corn and potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken meat back to the soup and return the soup to a simmer. Add salt if needed.
  • Divide the soup among 6 bowls and serve with sliced avocado, sour cream, capers, aji sauce and remaining cilantro leaves.

CHICKEN, SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH SOUP



Chicken, Sweet Potato and Spinach Soup image

My mom made this for me every time I was sick; it was the only thing I could keep down. It was mild but I love it even when I'm not under the weather. She would use her own roasted chickens, but when I'm not feeling well I don't feel like roasting my own chicken, and the store-bought ones work in a pinch. Serve with crusty bread.

CHICKEN, CHILI AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Chicken, Chili and Sweet Potato Soup image

This is a recipe my hubby has fallen in love with and recreated the next day at home. He requested I post it and I must admit, it is very good soup and I'm not a fan of spicy foods but this was fantastic. In his words...."Friday I went to Phillpots, which is a small takeaway "lunch bar". I love their soup and went for the sweet potato, chili and chicken soup. It was so damn good that whilst we were at the supermarket on Saturday, I thought would try to make it. So, I used the obvious ingredients and added a little salt, pepper and cream and voila. It was near on a perfect match! Not only was it good, it's SOOOOOO easy to make, so hope you give it a go. You wont be disappointed ;)"

  • Put the dice chili into the chicken broth; stir and mix. Add pepper and salt.
  • Put the potatoes into a food processor. Mix for 2 minutes on low. Then add the stock/chili mix and the chicken. Leave to mix for another 2-3 minutes Add a little hot water until you can see the contents being mixed.
  • Add contents into a saucepan, and heat up for about 2-3 minutes, stirring; adding a little water to make sure it keeps a "soupy" consistency (it's supposed to be quite thick).
  • Take it off the heat, keep stirring and add a splash of cream until texture is creamy. Stir well.
  • Serve :).

CHICKEN SOUP WITH ADZUKI BEANS, ESCAROLE, AND SWEET POTATO



Chicken Soup with Adzuki Beans, Escarole, and Sweet Potato image

This absolutely delicious soup was created to help use up the Adzuki beans, wild rice, and sweet potatoes in my pantry. I decided to use the sweet potato instead of regular potatoes, and was delightfully surprised by the wonderful flavor blend it created with the sweetness of the onions, garlic, and Adzuki beans. I also wanted to try escarole in a soup, and the result was fantastic. Adzuki beans are found in any health food or specialty store, and in many national grocery chains. They have a great nutty, slightly sweet taste, and are especially tasty added to chicken soups of any kind.
