Caldo de Res is a Mexican beef soup that’s extremely hearty and satisfying. The hind shank flavours the broth beautifully, as does the marrow in the bones. Garnish the soup with slivered raw onion, lime juice, jalapenos, and more cilantro, and enhance it with a low-sodium, gluten-free seasoning to add an extra boost.
