Origin
National Mexican tradition — the primary beef soup of all Mexican regions; a working family Sunday dish

Description
Caldo de res is Mexico's hearty bone-in beef soup — beef shank, ribs, or chuck with marrow bones, cooked with corn on the cob, chayote, carrot, potato, and cabbage in a fragrant broth. Unlike European beef stock (strained, refined), caldo de res is a complete meal — the meat, bones, and vegetables are all served together in large portions with the broth. A Sunday family dish that exemplifies Mexican home cooking at its most generous and nourishing.
