Directions
This Mexican caldo de res will remind you of the soup that your abuela used to make by slaving over a hot stove all day if your abuela was Mexican, that is. But now you can make it for your grandma in under an hour while she rests up. This recipe takes two cooking cycles. First, you cook the meat with onions, cilantro, salt, and cumin. Then, when that is done, you add the vegetables and cook it all once again.
