Colombian households have their own favorite version of aji salsa, some using lime juice and vinegar. This is the one served at the Colombian Embassy. Of the garnishes, aji salsa and capers give the soup a burst of flavor. In lieu of hot pepper sauce, you can use 4 red chili peppers, finely chopped.
