Caldo de Res is a Mexican vegetable soup in a bone broth {Caldo (soup) de Res(from cow)}. It is warm, delicious and full of veggies that you may or may not have had before. My Grandmother (Mah) and my mom made this soup in the winter because eating soup in the Arizona heat would be torture. Honestly though, if your AC is low enough you can have soup all year 😉

Side note* This soup is also used to cure the weekend hangover… SO I’ve been told :0

Let's make soup
Fill your large soup pot with water and cook the bones and roast for about an hour on a slow boil with the garlic, onion and salt. Then add the corn and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Time to add the rice, cilantro, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, chayote, and nabo. Let this cook at a slow boil for about another hour. Half way through the boil, add the potatoes, Garbanzos and zucchini. Add salt to taste. It may not need a full Tbs. When you serve the soup, try to give each person a corn on the cob and a chunk of cabbage along with the other veggies. Enjoy!
