Ajiaco in the slow cooker (a Colombian Chicken Potato Corn Soup)

I did this today for the second time and tweaked it a bit. I love Colombian chicken soups, and this one came out really well in a slow cooker!! I'm glad to know it comes out tasty, we will be doing this one again.

I put in:
4 chicken thighs, bone in, skin off
5-6 gold potatoes, about 1 pound, quartered
2-3 ears of fresh corn, or 4 pieces frozen corn on the cob, cut in halves or thirds
3-5 green onions, chopped
1/2c (ish) chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp salt
2 cubes beef bouillon
1 Tbsp dried guascas (south American herb, skip it if you want)
7 cups water

Cooked it on high for 9 hours.

Served with:
Plain white rice
Avocado slices
Fresh diced tomatoes
Chopped cilantro
Chopped green onion
Capers
Sour cream

The prep is pretty easy, though getting all the sides together takes a minute. It's worth it, the combination of everything is amazing. I leave out the extra green onion and go heavy on the capers.
