Put the chicken breast, chicken stock, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a pot.
Boil the chicken for 22 minutes, remove and shred it, leaving the onion and garlic in the pot.
Cut half the potatoes thinly and the other half into large pieces, then add the thin slices to the pot.
Boil the soup for 20 minutes so the thin potatoes fall apart and thicken it.
Add the large potato pieces, corn cobs, and guasca or dried oregano, then cook for 18 minutes.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and heat for 5 more minutes.
Serve the ajiaco with cream, capers, and avocado.
💡 Tip: Add some of the potatoes early; as they break down, they thicken the soup naturally without flour.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ajiaco hot with capers, cream, avocado, and optional white rice.
