Ajiaco Soup, a typical dish from Bogotá, is a comforting meal made with guascas leaves (from the Andes) that lend a unique aroma and flavor to this dish.

Warm up your kitchen with the authentic flavors of Ajiaco Soup, a scrumptious Colombian classic. This dish from Official MAGGI® exudes a cozy, welcoming aroma thanks to its unique blend of ingredients. Using MAGGI Granulated Chicken Flavor Bouillon, this hearty soup delivers a delightful depth of flavor that makes each spoonful a joyous experience.

Incorporating silky NESTLÉ Media Crema enriches the broth, creating a velvety texture that's perfectly balanced with the other elements of the soup.

Served with classic accompaniments like NESTLÉ Media Crema, chopped avocado, and capers, Ajiaco Soup not only fills the belly but also warms the soul.
