This was a tasty beef soup. I followed another rater's method of putting all ingredients into a crock pot and cooking it over night. Next time, I'll add the cilantro right before serving, as I could not taste it at all after 12 hours in the crock pot. I skimmed the fat off of the surface before serving.

We loved this soup. Had to substitute 2 beef short ribs for shank and added one pound lean stew meat.Cooked one can of beef broth soup and meat in crock pot until meat was tender. Added seasonings and veggies (subbed 1 can chopped tomatoes and baby carrots) and continued to cook until veggies were done. Squeezing lime juice over soup in bowls is the South Texas way of serving caldo. Makes the soup !

I have to confess that I haven't tried this recipe, but it sounds good! I also haven't read all of the reviews, so somebody may have already suggested this: after serving, add in some sliced bananas! Trust me; it's soooo good! The combination of the sweetness of the fruit with the saltiness of the soup is fantastic! My dad is from southern Mexico, and that's how he ate it down there. Oh! And some sliced avocado doesn't hurt, either. I agree with one of the reviewers on here: don't add cumin.

Cooked this caldo up for my kiddos on a cold day and they loved it! I didn't even get a complaint about the veggies! Will definitely make this again!

Made this last night and the entire family loved it. This is a great base that can be adjusted to one's own taste or savored just the way it is. A keeper for sure. Allow for a lot of prep time. Took me about 45 minutes to assemble.
