Hey everyone! My parents have been craving their favorite comfort food lately ..So, I thought I'd share our family recipe with you all, in case you're looking for a delicious and comforting meal to enjoy too 

Ingredients:
Instructions:






- 2 pounds beef shank or beef chuck, cut into chunks
- 1 onion, quartered
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tomatoes, quartered
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 ears of corn, husked and cut into thirds
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 chayote squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
- 1/2 head of cabbage, cored and chopped
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Warm tortillas or crusty bread, for serving

- In a large pot, combine the beef chunks, quartered onion, minced garlic, quartered tomatoes, and enough water to cover everything. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer, uncovered, for about 1 hour, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
- After an hour, add the carrots, potatoes, and corn to the pot. Continue to simmer the soup for another 30 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
- Add the sliced zucchini, chunks of chayote squash, and chopped cabbage to the pot. Let the soup simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are cooked through.
- Season the Caldo de Res with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped cilantro, reserving some for garnish.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve the Caldo de Res piping hot, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup.
