Peruvian Cream of Chicken Soup image

Thick with cream, chicken, and vegetables, this colorful soup is perfect for those blustery days when you just want to curl up in front of the fireplace. (Aji Panca is a type of chile pepper that is commonly grown in Peru, and frequently used in Pervian cuisine. It is dark red, mild pepper with a smokey, fruity taste. It's often sold dried, or prepared into a paste. You can find the dried peppers and jarred paste in Latin & Asian grocery stores.)
