caldo de res

Caldo de Res, or Mexican beef soup, is a healthy and comforting soup made with a flavorful beef broth and&nbsp;squash, corn, carrots, cabbage and potatoes.&nbsp;

Caldo de Res

water, (divided)

beef shank

garlic, (peeled)

bay leaves

coarse kosher salt

potatoes, (cut into eighths (Idaho, Russet or Yukon Gold))

medium ears of corn, (shucked and halved)

zucchini,

carrots,

cabbage,

cilantro, (for serving)

limes, (halved, for serving)

Tabasco hot sauce, (for serving)

In a large dutch oven or soup pot, add 10 cups water, beef shanks, garlic, bay leaves, and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to a low simmer and continue cooking for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat tender.

Skim off and discard any white or brown foam floating at the top of the pot as well as the bay leaves and garlic cloves.&nbsp; Transfer the cooked bone-in beef shank to a medium bowl and set aside to cool slightly.&nbsp;

Add the potatoes, corn, zucchini, carrots, cabbage and remaining 2 cups of water to the pot.

Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and continue cooking until all the vegetables are tender and cooked through, about 15 minutes.&nbsp;

While the vegetables are cooking, remove the bones and any tough sinewy parts from the beef shank and discard. Cut the tender meat into small bite-sized chunks. When the vegetables are fully cooked, add the meat.&nbsp;

Stir everything together and taste. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Serve soup in large bowls, making sure that each bowl gets a little bit of everything. Top each bowl with cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice and a few dashes of Tobasco hot sauce. This really brings out the flavor of the broth!
