2x the portions for family dinner or leftovers
- Milk
This month, experience Hispanic culture through bold recipes on the menu for a limited time. This Colombian-inspired ajiaco-style soup gets its hearty, velvety base from grated russet potato that slowly breaks down as it simmers with cumin and chicken stock. Shredded poached chicken and sweet corn are stirred in to finish. A bright jalapeño-onion relish and sour cream are served alongside each bowl for cool, tangy contrast.

Cooking Steps
Place chicken* in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
Turn off heat; drain and transfer chicken to a large bowl.
While chicken cooks, wash and dry produce.
Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion; finely chop remaining onion. Grate russet potato on the largest holes of a box grater.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a second large pot over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute.
Add grated potato, 3 cups water, stock concentrates, and 2 tsp salt (6 cups water and 4 tsp salt for 4 servings). Stir together, scraping any browned bits from bottom of pot.
Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping bottom of pot with a wooden spoon, until potato breaks down and soup has thickened, 20-25 minutes.
While soup cooks, finely chop jalapeño, removing ribs and seeds for less heat. Finely chop cilantro. Quarter limes.
In a small bowl, combine chopped onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
Once chicken is cool enough to handle, using two forks, shred into bite-size pieces.
Open package of seasoned potato slices and drain off any excess liquid.
Add potato slices, shredded chicken, corn and its liquid, and garlic powder to pot with soup.
Reduce heat to medium low. Cook, uncovered, stirring and scraping bottom of pot, 5-7 minutes more. TIP: If soup becomes too thick, stir in water a little bit at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide soup between bowls. Serve with jalapeño-onion relish, sour cream, and remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Oct 2026- Flavor: The soup is rich and hearty, though several found it mild on its own — the jalapeño-onion relish and a squeeze of lime make a big difference, so don't skip them 🍲. Some wanted more cumin or extra spices; adding a pinch of white pepper or paprika worked well for a few reviewers.
- Ease of prep: The recipe takes longer than a quick weeknight cook, but most found it worth the effort; one reviewer simplified it into a one-pot meal by adding fresh garlic directly to the soup.
- Suggestions: Use only half the corn (or skip the canned corn liquid) if you find the corn flavor too dominant. One reviewer recommended cutting the precooked potato slices into smaller pieces for better texture throughout.
- Leftovers: This recipe makes generous portions and reheats beautifully — several reviewers said it tasted even better the next day 🎉.
