(Beef Soup): This is a traditional Mexican recipe for beef soup (Caldo De Res) and can be a meal in itself. Without the meat, it can be a nice vegetarian soup as well. Serve with corn tortillas and limes on the side. Serves Six
2 pounds beef shank, with bone
3 small zucchini, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, chopped
2 diced tomatoes
2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 potatoes, quartered
2 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds
1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
DIRECTIONS
1. Cook the beef (in water or beef broth) in a large pot (with lid) over low heat until tender (about two hours)
2. Add the rest of the ingredients; add water sufficient to cover ingredients then simmer for 30 minutes or until corn is tender and well done.
3. Remove lid, stir, and simmer for another half hour with lid off. Serve hot.
What beverage do you serve with this? I prefer beer, but almost any beverage (except eggnog) will do.
