Making soups and stews in the Instant Pot is so straightforward and crazy easy to do. Not only can you make this soup in half the time it takes traditionally, but the flavors are deeply infused for a great tasting meal any night of the week.
To make this traditional Colombian inspired chicken corn and potato stew, ajiaco recipe, try to find guascas for a more authentic flavor. If you’re unable to find it, the closest substitute is dried oregano, either way, you’ll end up with a brilliant tasting stew that everyone will enjoy.
Serve this with a bowl of rice on the side, avocado slices, capers if you’d like, cilantro, plus a squeeze of lime, and a few warmed tortillas to seriously enjoy this stew.Â
To get the best flavor in your recipes, look for fresh, quality ingredients within your budget. When selecting potatoes for a recipe, I always look for the Grown In Idaho Potatoes label, because I’m guaranteed to find quality potatoes that are approved by the Idaho Potato Commission. For this recipe, I used the baby Dutch yellow potatoes and baby reds grown in Idaho. They are perfect for this easy Instant Pot stew recipe, and keep up there shape beautifully during cooking, and the flavor is wonderful.
Stay Cozy and Enjoy!
If cozy chicken dinners are on your mind, this saffron chicken and yellow rice soup is another warming bowl to save for later.
