Reviews
Anyway, this recipe stuck with me from the show because of the corn on the cob, and that Ms. Marcela said, “When we were sick, there was no doctor. There was Caldo de Res!” I tucked it away as an alternative to traditional chicken noodle soup.
So when the whole family came down with this horrible cough, I decided to make this soup. I made it with chicken and its broth instead, for their medicinal properties, and OH MY GOSH it was SOO good! I LOVED it! I made a double portion so that there would be plenty leftover, and it’s reheated well days later. It actually tasted better reheated, because more of the vegetable flavor got into the soup. The large pieces also made it easy for my picky-eater kids to drink the broth, which was great for their colds.
I will be making this again, next time with the beef!
