Fry garlic, onion and red bell pepper in large pot with a little oil. Put chicken into a pot and fill with water until above the chicken. Stir chicken occasionally carefully to not tear chicken apart. Simmer for about 15 minutes, add loroco and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer another 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another bowl mix the corn starch with the cream. Mix well until there are no clumps. (or mix corn starch with water and then add to the cream)

Add cream and simmer 10 minutes moving the chicken carefully. If soup is too thick, add a little water.

Serve over rice.
