Put the chicken leg, onion, garlic, salt, and water in a pot.
Boil the chicken for 30 minutes until tender.
Remove and shred the chicken, leaving the broth in the pot.
Cut the potatoes into different sizes and add them to the pot.
Add the corn pieces and guasca, then cook for 22 minutes.
Return the shredded chicken to the soup and heat for 3 minutes.
Serve with cream, capers, avocado, and cilantro.
💡 Tip: Cut some of the potatoes small; their starch thickens the soup naturally.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ajiaco hot with cream, capers, avocado, and cilantro.
