Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 or 3 beef shanks (bone in) or may use a small shoulder roast cut into chunks or use about a pound of stew meat
3 Tbsp cooking oil
2 32 ounce cartons beef broth
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
3 or 4 carrots, cut into 1/2 inch rounds
3 medium peeled potatoes, cut into larger chunks
2 ears corn on the cob, cut into 1 1/2 inch rounds
1 stalk(s) celery - cut into 1 inch pieces
2 medium roma tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 small sweet bell pepper cut into bitesized chunks
1 or 2 Tbsp granulated beef boullion - as needed to build and support the flavor
2 or 3 calabacita squash (mexican squash) or zucchini squash cut into 1/2 inch rounds
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 half a small head of cabbage, chopped coarsely

Steps:

  • 1. Generally, caldo is made with large chunks of meat & veggies. So when cutting veggies, cut them a little larger than you might normally for a regular soup or stew. (I do not recommend adding salt or pepper until just before serving.)
  • 2. Put your beef shank and cooking oil in a large cooking pot with a lid. Brown the shank on both sides. If using another cut of beef, like a shoulder roast, cut the meat into chunks or use stew meat. Add broth & veggies except for cilantro, squash & cabbage. Simmer an hour or more. If using shank, remove whole shanks and cut meat into pieces. May leave the shank bones in the caldo to be discarded when served.
  • 3. If you think the broth needs to be more flavorful or beefy, add granulated beef bullion as needed. Don't be afraid to add a bit more! This gives the caldo a richer flavor. The broth should be rich and beefy.
  • 4. About a half an hour before serving, add a little water if necessary. Sometimes it cooks down a little. Toss in the squash, cabbage and chopped cilantro, stir and cover, stirring occasionally.
  • 5. Simmer another 30 minutes, stir and serve in large serving bowls. Many kinds of Mexican soups and stews are served with wedges of fresh lime and with hot tortillas. Corn tortillas go well with beef caldo.
  • 6. This is one of those wonderful recipes that tasted even better the second or third day, so refrigerate any leftovers. You could also freeze for later use. But after freezing, some of the veggies won't hold up well, but will still be delicious!

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds beef shank, with bone
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 cups beef broth
4 cups water
2 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 potato, quartered
2 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds
2 chayotes, quartered
1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
¼ cup sliced pickled jalapenos
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, cut into wedges
4 radishes, quartered

Steps:

  • Cut the meat from the beef bones into about 1/2 inch pieces, leaving some on the bones.
  • Heat a heavy soup pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the oil, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Add the meat and bones, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until thoroughly browned.
  • Add 1 onion, and cook until onion is also lightly browned. Stir in the tomatoes and broth. The liquid should cover the bones by 1/2 inch. If not, add enough water to compensate. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour with the lid on loosely. If meat is not tender, continue cooking for another 10 minutes or so.
  • Pour in the water, and return to a simmer. Add the carrot and 1/4 cup cilantro, and cook for 10 minutes, then stir in the potato, corn and chayote. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Push the cabbage wedges into the soup, and cook for about 10 more minutes.
  • Ladle soup into large bowls, including meat vegetables and bones. Garnish with jalapenos, minced onion, and additional cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over all, and serve with radishes.

Caldo De Res (A Mexican Beef -Vegetable Soup) image

If I were feeling sick and run-down, while living in Mexico, I would have my housekeeper fix up a batch of Caldo de Res. This would fix me right up. Most people ate this with tortillas but she would always serve this with some Mexican cornbread baked in a cast-iron skillet. Makes my mouth water just thinking of this!
