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 COSTILLA (COLOMBIAN BEEF RIB SOUP)
This hearty soup from the Colombian Andes uses a handful of ingredients and takes only a few minutes of active time to put together. It's traditionally served for breakfast (especially after a night of dancing and drinking) along with hot chocolate and arepas, but it's hearty enough to serve for any meal. Because of its relatively neutral flavor profile, it's good to make in large batches (the beef broth can easily be doubled or tripled through Step 4) to be doctored into different dishes (see Tip).

Steps:
- Reserve a small handful of cilantro and 5 scallions. To a large stockpot or Dutch oven, add the split onion, the garlic cloves, the cumin seeds and the beef. Cover with water by 2 inches (3 to 4 quarts total).
- Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a very bare simmer. Using a ladle, skim off and discard any solid scum that has collected on the surface. Roughly chop the remaining cilantro and scallions, and add them to the pot. Cover and cook until the beef is tender and a skewer or knife shows no resistance when poked through the meat, 2½ to 3 hours.
- Using tongs or a skimmer, remove the meat with the bones to a large plate and set aside.
- Set a fine mesh strainer in a large bowl and strain the broth. Discard the solids. Scrub out the pot, then return the broth to it and season to taste with salt. (It should taste quite salty.) Proceed immediately to the next step, or return the beef to the broth and refrigerate in sealed containers for up to a week before continuing (or adapting into one of the alternate serving methods, see Note).
- Peel the potatoes, halve or quarter them lengthwise, then cut crosswise into ⅓- to ½-inch-thick slices and add them to the broth. Simmer the potato slices in the broth until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Return the beef to the broth.
- Roughly chop the reserved cilantro and scallions, and add to the broth. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef: Opt for cuts like chuck roast, brisket, or flank steak, known for their rich flavor and tenderness when cooked slowly.
- Prep the beef properly: Trim excess fat and cut the beef into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Brown the beef: Searing the beef in a hot skillet or pot before adding liquid helps develop a deep, caramelized flavor.
- Use a flavorful liquid: Beef broth, stock, or water can be used as the base of the soup. Consider adding herbs, spices, or aromatics like onions, carrots, and celery for extra flavor.
- Simmer gently: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for several hours or until the beef is tender and fall-apart.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup throughout the cooking process and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, or cumin.
- Serve with accompaniments: Calypso beef soup is often served with rice, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra richness.

Calypso beef soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
