- This Caldo de Res is delicious, nutritious, & comforting on a cold fall or winter evening. If you've never had it before, it's probably one of the more classic Mexican beef soups that's loaded with tons of vegetables. Read on for the recipe, but keep in mind it's very customizable. You can leave out or add different vegetables, change the amounts, etc.
Caldo de Res
2 1/2 pounds of beef shank
additional soup bones and/or beef chuck cut into large pieces
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 head of garlic, leave whole but score bottom
2 ears of corn, cut in fourths
2 carrots, cut in 1" pieces at an angle
2 stalks of celery, chopped
2 calabazas (Mexican squash), chopped
4 potatoes, cut in large cubes
1/2 head of cabbage, cut in large pieces
a small bunch of cilantro
salt & pepper to taste
2 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. tomato bouillon
*serve with salsa, fresh lime, and corn tortillas
Rinse meat thoroughly with clean water. Place in large 10 quart pot and completely cover with water. Set stovetop to medium high and let it come to a boil. Skim frothy residue that forms on top and remove, ensuring broth stays as clear as possible. Let meat cook for a minimum of 1 hour but up to an hour and a half. Add in onion, garlic, salt, pepper, tomato bouillon and cumin and stir until seasonings are dissolved into broth. Add in corn, celery and carrots. Cover with lid and let it cook 30 minutes. Remove garlic head. Add in calabazas, potatoes and cabbage. (Broth should cover all the ingredients, so if there's not enough liquid, add additional boiling water.) Place cilantro on top, Cover with lid and let it cook an additional 10-20 minutes until remaining ingredients are cooked tender. Serve caldo with hot salsa, fresh lime and corn tortillas

As I mention in this video, there are many ways to make Caldo de Res and different ingredients people put in it. I'm limited to what I can fit in my 8qt. pot, but I still manage to squeeze a lot in there. 😂 Let me know in the comments how you make yours. It will help give others more ideas. 🥣

In Sonora we call it cocido de res😊Thanks!!❤
I've heard it called cocido, sometimes too. I'll eat it no matter what it's called! Lol Thanks for watching!
If I liked any kind of soup- I’d definitely try this! Looks amazing.
With all those ingredients, there's something for everyone.😊
Another dish I was introduced to in Las Cruces! I rarely make it but I enjoy it when I have it! Great, now that I watched this I want some, especially now that the weather snapped! Great Job on a classic!
Thanks! The good thing is, it's always within easy reach where you live.
I need this soup this morning! Had a little to much fun last night with friends and now I'm feeling it. Your soup looks sooo delicious that I now have to go get a bowl from the market.
Lol This caldo is famous for helping with that! Hope you get a delicious bowl of it.
March that caldo recipe is great. I'm tryin that out. Thank you my dear friend. 😃
Thank YOU! I appreciate your nice comment.
Yummy I think that’ll be for Sunday dinner have a blessed day.
Glad I could provide some Sunday dinner inspiration. Have a blessed day, too. 😊
Marcy, te descubrí hace poco y no me pierdo tus recetas. Ese caldo de res me parece divino. Te veo desde Puerto Rico! Saludos!
Me alegra saber que alguien está siguiendo mis recetas de Puerto Rico! Muchas gracias.
It looks delicious! I've never seasoned with cumin I will try it next time. I add chayote squash. My mom always did.
Mmm, looks yummy! I forgot about this soup.
Thank you.I'll make it soon.
Glad I could give you a little reminder. Thanks for watching!
This is one of my husband's comfort foods, he loves when I put the corn on the cob in, but I rarely do. (I always forget to buy it!) That reminds me, I still have a big head of cabbage I don't know what to do with.
The corn is usually the first thing we eat when we have this. Then when I heat up leftovers, I bummed there's never any left. Hope you used that cabbage. If not in a caldo, in something else. Have you every made cabbage rolls? I'd love to find a good recipe for that.
Hey Marci. In 1998, I retired to Mexico (Baja Sur) and married a Mexican widow. I lived there for 17 years, occasionally working as a chef in a high-end restaurant near la Bahía de Concepción. I grew up in California and loved to visit Mexico and fell in love with the cuisine. I really like your channel as it features the kinds of food that I love to cook and eat. I haven't watched all your videos... yet... but, since I raised goats, they were a staple in our diet. Can you either refer me to some of your videos featuring goat meat or make a video with it? Seafood was plentiful in Baja so one of my favorite- and my signature dish- was Camarones Rancheros. All my kids HAVE to have it when they visit me at the cabin in Idaho.
Rick
How do you raise goats then eat them? Very easily, right?
Oh dang, I'm on my way. 😋😋 Looks so delicious. I also love to add red rice to mine. Thanks for sharing, you are the best.
Come on over! I just need to cook some rice.
@@marcyinspired1442 You're a sweetheart. Have a great weekend.
That looks delicious! 😋
I’ve never tried seasoning my Caldello with cumin and tomato bouillon but I will next time.
I add a peeled and diced turnip and 1 large chopped jalapeño.
I love hearing the different variations. It all sounds wonderful. Thanks for watching!
Good morning Marcy
Looks delicious thank you from Barbara 😊
Good morning, Barbara. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. ❤ Thanks for watching!
Love that soup! Had it a my local Rincon Mexican Restaurant.
I always love hearing where people are watching from. I'm very familiar with Rincon. Thanks for watching!
@@marcyinspired1442 yes, I now reside in Minnesota, transplanted from California. In California I have several hispanic friends, learnd how to speak Spanish and eat delicious Mexican foods. Back in the day I would hangout with my friend on the weekends and in the morning and his mom would make fresh tortillas and huevos con papas. To this day I cook weekend breakfast with huevos and diced potatoes, but with store bought tortillas because I don't know how to make from scratch lol.
It looks so delicious 🤤 I can’t wait to make it. Thank you

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I appreciate your comment.
Oh my gosh, I love Caldo de Rez. It's hard to find good ones. I've been wanting to try and make it. I have never made it even though I love it. Oh my gosh, I am so glad that you put this video up for Caldo de Res. I enjoy your channel so much. We're from New Mexico.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you were inspired by this recipe.
Hi Marcy, have you ever tried using Beef Bone Broth for this recipe?
Marcy, is this soup similar to cocido? The ingredients seem so similar. I've only had cocido in restaurants. I can't wait to try your recipe! Thanks!
Yes. Some people call it cocido, so it's the same thing.
Looks great! When you lived in La Mesa where did your family buy beef shank like this one? We'll be back in Las Cruces soon so hope to find some there. Thanks!
We always shopped in Las Cruces, but rarely could we afford to eat beef. My mom would take a single piece of chuck and cut it into small pieces. Now, that I'm older, I know beef shank is what is traditional in this recipe, along with other cuts of beef. I'm sure you'll find lots of restaurants in Las Cruces that serve caldo de res, and many meat markets that will help direct you to what you need if you want to make it yourself. Thanks for watching!
Marcy it looks so delicious 🎉
Thanks. It's all gone. My husband really likes caldo de res.
I usually like to eat with flour tortillas or cornbread 😊
Marci, would you be open to holding a cooking class? I'm willing to travel from SC to attend. Surely others would love this. Enjoying your channel.
Oh my goodness! You are too sweet! Thank you for encouraging me like that. That would be fun. God would have to orchestrate that, for sure, because that is beyond anything I could hope for or imagine.
😋✌️✌️
Iv'e started putting a hand-full of raw spinach leaves in mine.
Ooooh, yum! I love spinach.
Marcy can I use tomato paste instead of tomato bouillon? Is tomato bouillon easy to find?
The tomato bouillon is usually right next to the chicken bouillon at stores. You can find it in little cubes or in a plastic jar. But, you absolutely can use tomato paste instead.
One question: Would you put your potatoes in at the same time if you use different potatoes. I know that red and white potatoes cook quicker than Russett. If you were using russet potatoes, would you have put the russet potatoes in earlier or at the same time?
I would definitely still put russett potatoes in toward the end. If anything, I think they tend to break apart more than the red ones.
@@marcyinspired1442 thank you for getting back to me.
Hello Marcy, Is New Mexico red Hatch chile the same ?
The same as what? I'm not sure what you're asking. If you mean the same as green Hatch chile, it's not at all. They're two completely different flavors, even though it comes from the same plant. Green chile is roasted and peeled before it's used in different dishes. When it ripens, it turns red, and the red chile is dried and turned into sauces. They're both wonderful in different ways. Hope this is what you were asking. If not, feel free to leave another comment.
No green chiles in this? YIKES...
I add salsa at the end.
Every time I’ve had this in restaurants the soft veggies like zucchini have been waaaay over cooked. The cooks they employ don’t really know or care what they’re doing. Or maybe they think it’s supposed to be mushy…
Yea, it's kind of tricky to get the vegetables to all cook evenly. But not adding the potatoes and squash until the very end, should take care of that. You can also take it off the stove just before they're fully cooked, because it's so hot,
they will continue to cook after. That should ensure it wont turn mushy. Thanks for watching!
@@marcyinspired1442
Customers would order it and gobble it down, so I assumed it was supposed to be that way, though it’s not to my taste.
Why potatoes so late
The potatoes will break and get mushy if you put them in too early.
Cumin ???? Eww
