This is a traditional Mexican home recipe for beef soup (Caldo De Res). Without the meat it is also delicious as a vegetarian soup. Serve with French rolls or corn tortillas and your favorite salsa. Ingredients:
1 pound beef shank |
1 tomato, quartered |
2 potatoes, cubed |
1 onion, chopped |
3 carrots, chopped |
1/2 medium head cabbage, chopped |
4 cloves garlic, minced |
6 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
2 fluid ounces fresh lime juice |
Directions:
1. In a large pot over low heat combine the beef, tomato, potatoes, onion, carrots, cabbage, garlic, 5 teaspoons cilantro, salt and cumin. Add water to cover and stir well. Cover and simmer for 2 hours.
2. Remove lid, stir, and simmer for another hour with lid off. Serve hot. Just before eating, squeeze in fresh lime juice to taste and sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
