Caldo De Res A Mexican Beef Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the beef shank into large chunks, keeping some attached to the bone.

• After the beef is browned, add the beef stock and the stewed tomatoes.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer just below the boiling point for about one hour, until the beef is "spoon tender".
• Wash the vegetables thoroughly, then cut each ear of corn and each potato into quarters.
• Cut equivalent chunks of carrots and chayote (if zucchini is used, keep pieces bigger as they will cook faster than chayote).
• Add the vegetables to the soup.
• Chop ¼ cup of cilantro and add it to the mixture, then add water to cover the vegetables and bring the mixture to a boil.
