boldWhat is it locro made of

This soup´s ingredients are some the best and most abundant ones in the highlands of Ecuador. Locro de papas is made of milk, potatoes, garlic, onion, cumin and achiote. Important to mention that the potato used for this soup is only found in Ecuador, so when trying to prepare the soup abroad, it has been hard for me to get the same consistency to it.
