Ajiaco and Miso Wonton Soup
A Colombian-Chinese chifa soup showpiece, Colombian ajiaco — the classic potato, corn, and guasca herb chicken soup — rebuilt as a wonton soup where the Chinese dumpling and the Japanese miso depth are folded into the Colombian broth so three distinct food cultures produce one extraordinary family soup that is deeply warming and completely original.

Instructions
1
Prep
Mix 300g chicken mince with ginger, garlic, spring onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt until combined. Fill 24 wonton wrappers with 1 tsp filling each, dampen edges, fold into triangles, then bring bottom corners together to form wontons. Set on a floured tray. Halve 400g baby potatoes, cut corn into 4cm rounds, smash garlic, roughly chop spring onions, dice avocado, mince coriander.
2
Simmer
Place chicken thighs, stock, potatoes, corn, garlic, spring onions, guascas, and turmeric in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, cook uncovered 30 minutes until chicken is tender and potatoes are soft. Remove chicken, shred, and return to pot.
3
Build
Whisk white miso paste with 4 tbsp hot broth until dissolved. Stir into the pot over low heat—do not boil. Stir in lime juice and season with salt to taste.
4
Boil
In a separate pot of boiling water over high heat, cook wontons in batches 3–4 minutes until they float and filling is cooked through. Drain with a slotted spoon.

Plate
Ladle broth with chicken, potato, and corn into deep bowls. Add 4–5 wontons per bowl. Top each with 1 tbsp soured cream, scatter coriander, capers, and avocado. Serve with lime wedges.
