Ajiaco Bogotano
Bogota's signature chicken soup with three types of potatoes, corn on the cob, and the herb guascas.
Why It Works
Using three potato varieties creates a broth that is simultaneously creamy (from disintegrating criolla potatoes) and chunky; guascas adds an irreplaceable herbal earthiness.
