Low

In a large pot, heat water and bring it to a boil. Add chicken breast, ears corn, 1 tablespoon of dried Guasca, and onion. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add sabanera potatoes, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Add pastusa potatoes. Cook chicken breast through and remove chicken broth. Set chicken broth aside. Add heirloom potatoes to the pot and season with salt. Do not stir to keep potatoes from breaking apart. Add salt and remaining dried Guasca and cook. Shred chicken breast into medium-sized chunks. Once potatoes are cooked through and the soup is thick, serve. Serve Colombian ajiaco in a soup bowl garnished with shredded chicken, capers, cream, avocado, and cooked rice on the side.
