Mexican Beef Soup (Caldo De Res)

What you need:

2 fluid ounces fresh lime juice
1 pound beef shank
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tomato, quartered
1 tbsp salt
2 potatoes, cubed
6 tsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 onion, properly chopped
4 minced garlic cloves
3 carrots, chopped
1/2 medium head cabbage, finely chopped





How to prepare:

Take a large pot over low heat and pour altogether the beef, tomato, potatoes, onion, carrots, cabbage, garlic, 5 teaspoons cilantro, salt and cumin. Add water to cover and stir well. Cover and simmer for 2 hours.

Now after removing the lid, stir it again and simmer for another hour without covering it. Serve hot and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. You can also squeeze lemon juice on the top while serving the soup to add more flavour to it.
